I dumped Google photos for self hosted immich and it’s been great. Not sure if it has the ability to connect to photo frames but if you already self host anything else it’s not too much work to setup.

I dumped Google photos for self hosted immich and it’s been great.

I went to install immich but it was very heavy… I don’t need AI in a selfhosted Google Photo’s replacement.

I’m sorry, but then you are the minority. AI image categorization and face recognition is amazing for finding specific pictures quickly

This is one of the few things I can get behind with machine learning. Locally run, doesn’t “phone home”, just analyzes faces and categorizes them. That’s it.

I wasn’t super thrilled about the idea myself, but with the ability to disable it I figured I’d give it a try.

Personally it’s a really cool feature that adds to the experience.

Those features can be disabled to ease up on resources.

I got it running on a raspberry pi and have disabled the machine learning parts in the docker compose file. Works great.

It’s really not that heavy. I have Immich - and several other services - running on a 4-core VM with 16GB RAM, running on 7th gen Intel hardware alongside another 4c/16GB VM and several LXC containers. It does the job just fine with more than enough overhead.

Try Nextcloud Memories.

Does that run on top of next cloud or can I run it independently of next cloud?

This is the way.

Check out Immich Kiosk as an example for image frames.

The only problem is, my internet’s upload speed is slow as hell.

Self hosted doesn’t necessarily mean hosted at home. Some of my stuff is for example hosted in a French datacenter for redundancy. At one point it was my only server space since hosting at home wasn’t feasible at that time.

I’m still salty about them discontinuing synchronization between Google photos and Google drive years ago. Such an unnecessary and irritating move. Before that it was getting rid of the picassa desktop app which was actually quite a good photo library manager. The enshitification marches on.

I was still using Picassa desktop up until about a year ago. I only stopped because the software doesn’t support HEIC.

Damn. I miss Picasa. It was a powerful tool too.

Stop using Google products. Uninstall Chrome, delete Gmail, etc.
