I know we had posts like this before, but Immich deserves 👏

One more update, one less container, the best Google Photos alternative, its just amazing!!

Don’t forget to edit your docker-compose before updating

Is it hard to breathe in that rarified air, up on your high horse?

I’ll keep taking my calculated risks. You keep judging strangers on the internet. 👍

roofuskit is right. Unless you use it as secondary method of backing up your memories - it is foolish. There are constant breaking changes that requires modification to Docker-Compose for Immich project. But you do you. :) I am not Google to tell you what to do. 😅

Immich saves pictures on the filesystem, where they are easily picked up by all my backup solutions. My pictures also get uploaded on NextCloud before being moved to Immich’s auto-upload folder.

… Where exactly is the risk for my precious memories? The bloody thing could rm -rf /* for all I care.

Immich’s repo explicitly states not to rely on it as a primary backup of your photos and videos. Seems to me the more foolish thing would be to ignore that advice.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
