I’m just trying out Immich and I’m really impressed, seems to be exactly what I’m looking for except for one thing. I am looking for something that is a central library for my family so we can all access the same photos and all upload to the same place.
It looks like users can see other users’ libraries but you lose the People functionality and perhaps a few other things.
What’s the best solution? I’m thinking of just creating a generic user and giving the details for everyone to use but it seems a shame to lose the user functionality of individual passwords etc.
Thanks! That is what I’ve been playing with but it’s not really what I need. When you go to Sharing, you can see the user and can click on their icon and see a timeline of their pictures but you don’t get the map or the People features from the shared pictures, it’s just an untagged timeline. It’s great as it is, don’t get me wrong, but for my use case it’s not ideal at all where I have the bulk of the family photo archives and I want everyone to be able to click on each other’s People icon and add pictures to the archive.
