Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I’m looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.
Edit: thanks for the many replies, I’ll likely move to nextcloud as I was planning on deploying that anyway as a synology drive replacement. I’ll look into immich as well.
Jist moved from Photoprism to Immich. Glad i did. Mich better feature set, active development, and multi-user capability isn’t locked behind a paid subscription.
Currently in the middle of a cutover between Flickr/Dropbox/iCloud mess to Photoprism. Immich, I’ll keep in a test instance with a decent chunk of duplicate files but I’m not too keen on how it, along with others, disregards your file structure.
Like the peer comment mentioned. just drop nginx in front and let it so the TLS handoff.
always recommend to put nginx in front of any open source docker project as you can finetune many of the security controls there.
If you own a domain name you can use DNS challenge for obtaining the ssl cert, no need to open ports to get a cert issued. Nginx proxy manager has this feature built in and has support for many DNS name registrars.
Does Immich support deduplication of images? I have a large set of old scanned photos that I put on photoprism that has deduplication listed as one of its features. It puts photos in its own database.
Also, how is the face recognition of Immich when compared to others like photoprism?
if they have the same hash the deduplication thing will work. if they are different quality or other stuff no.
thare are plans to implement something regarding more advanced deduplication but not anything implemented at the moment.

Nextcloud + LesPas. Works really well

Immich seems to be really focused on pictures from phones. Which is probably useful for many, but not all people.
Syncthing?
Sorry, I’m not sure what your question refers to.
Try syncthing
To do what?
Sync pics and video from mobile to Nas, pc or anything capable.
Oh. I just run an rsync script for that. It updates an archive that’s on a NAS. Which will be replaced by a TrueNAS system next year.
The built-in gallery app on my samsung galaxy phone, in combination with syncthing.
As long as the phone has enough storage for all your images, this has been my favourite selfhosted solution so far.
I used Photoprism before, but I could never find an old picture quickly during a conversation. Now I can, 50% of the time 🫣
Immich for personal photos and pictures I take
Lychee as an image host for funny pictures, memes, and publically sharing photos

Photoprism
Immich
Nextcloud, memories app for desktop, photos-nc for android
samba/ftp?
I use PhotoSync to backup my iPhone to an SMB share on my NAS
For iOS PhotoSync is great for backing up.
I’m running Immich on an Odroid N2 and it’s great! https://immich.app/
Wow, what a terrible font choice!
Would you care to elaborate?
The immich logo is undoubtedly ugly
Why is the “H” bigger than the res?? Truly top tier hideous, it’s like they’re trying to make it terrible.
The logo plus every screenshot on iOS uses that same font. There’s not much else to it. It’s simply an ugly font.
Don’t judge the project based on that. It’s genuinely a quality application once you get it up and running.
I actually got so fed up with image galleries that I made my own tiny PHP gallery https://p.drkt.eu/
Did the same, but in perl and used a small javascript in the resulting page. (Made it ages ago)
Did the same in python. Ages ago. And again in python half a decade ago. And again in python a few months ago.

Why don’t you use LetsEncrypt? You shouldn’t be self signing certs these days

Try a reverse proxy (like the nginx-proxy-manager)
Do those restrictions cause issues with getting certs from Let’s Encrypt?
Getting certs from Let’s Encrypt should work fine with any provider, even if you can’t open any ports, since they do support DNS challenge.
It definitely does. I have some internal-only sites that use Let’s Encrypt certificates. I use acme-dns and Certbot.
immich, alternative for google photos. there’s a demo portal for it.

Looks like a polished app but sadly it has issues on my Fennec/Firefox for Android
there is an app for mobile. that also offer continuous backup of photos (like gphoto)
You could try connecting the Android app with the demo portal.
