Link is a 1h42m video interview between Louis Rossmann, FUTO and Immich developers with a introduction to Immich by Louis.

Immich is an open source self-hosted in-development tool to manage image libraries from a central server, and sync/distribute them across your devices, as an alternative to Google Photos. Also see: https://immich.app

The important news here is that FUTO has funded full time development on Immich for 3 years.

Always good to hear such news.

Maybe here somebody can help me with a related question: I'm so far just using nextcloud to have my photos somewhere safe but wanted to move to another solution for a while. So far I have only really looked into photoprism, but some problems prevented me to change.

So my first question is: can somebody sum up a comparison between immich and photoprism?

And second is the same just focused on my prior problems: I have a lot of very old (scanned) photos which are hardly sorted, duplicated and so on. Further I have an album of rather decent photos (my own wedding) in which the photographer didn't include any exif data which is relevant for me (particularly coordinates and creation date, without that they are just completely unsorted on the database). In photoprism I did not find a good way to fix those meta data in bulk and need to do it before I import them, so if I miss something I need to delete them from photoprism and start over (which is also struggling). Is this solved better?

In general I would love if such a tool had some kind of import staging. So my phone uploads the photos and they are safely backed up, but I need to approve them to be included in the overall library. This feature I would like because I often make photos of things I don't need more then ten minutes.

Best wishes

Photoprism is straight trash next to Immich. Not to mention the required fee just to upload photos to YOUR cloud...

I hope someone can help you with this. Maybe you need to make a post disguised as a tutorial, setting it up incorrectly and have someone correct you :P
