i'm a fan of immich, but i don't think it deletes photos from your phone when deleting it on the server.
I wanted to try Immich but I quickly found out you can't simply point it at an existing folder structure like say Plex or Jellyfin. You have to "import" all your files via a client and if you're like me and already have thousands of images in Nextcloud then even with their bulk upload CLI tool it is too much of a hassle.
Plus I don't want to be locked into their format, I want to be able to switch if the project goes under or I find something better later on. Nextcloud's photo management is not great but I am willing to sack some speed and usability for using raw folders rather than a database.
I switched from nextcloud to immich and the cli import was super easy and had a nice progress bar which made me feel productive. The images are just in directories on the filesystem unlike seafile.
10/10 would recommend. Shit feels premium as well.
