What are the great android apps for photoprism? Last time I looked there were two unofficial ones which were both not great and neither allowed you to upload from.


Yeah I think this might be the best and easiest solution. I’m really impressed with it too, I started with photoprism and the moved to nextcloud but there always seems to be something missing from the overall experience. Immich seems to fill all the gaps though.


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.


Thanks for the reply! Basically, I don’t want us to have our own libraries. I have tons of family images which Immich face-recognises and I can merge them accordingly and set up albums etc. However, when I create another user, this user can only see the photos through the Sharing page and cannot see the Faces/People tagged by the recognition, it’s just a gallery of dated pictures. Presumably I will have the same experience for pictures they share.

What I want is for all users to be able to all the People (tagged by the facial recognition). With the way that sharing appears to work this wouldn’t be possible if my family members were individual users so I am wondering if the only way around this is to have just one generic user login which everyone uses, that way we all get to see the People through the Explore page and can see the map for all pictures that everyone uploads.


Is anyone using Immich as a single library with multiple users? Is it even possible?
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.

If you can’t/won’t install with debtap then deb files can be extracted.
