Just tried Immich to replace Google photos (immich.app)

Wow. I've only just started testing it against GP, but it's really slick and works really well. Lots more fine control than GP, and the only thing that isn't quite as good is the photo editing on the app and web site, and that is on the roadmap. Oh, and I can't see how to set up TLS but I might just be missing something.

Put this in the other comment, but why?

But it doesnt have all the local-AI image recognition features, does it? Being able to search for "black car interior" is as random as it is effective in Immich.

I see people suggest Ente, but Immich has been fantastic for me, and is funded by FUTO which means it's less likely to enshittify.

In other words:

Try Immich!! It's worth trying.

they both have their pros and cons, immich is still in very early development and lacks some neccesery features in my books. thx for the suggestion tho

What? Now you're just plain wrong.

Immich is more feature rich, has self-hosted AI, is 3 years old, has 52K+ stars on GitHub vs Ente's 16K (with 2 less years no less), almost 4 times as many forks, and has a public roadmap.

How is that "very early development"? Want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but this feels very "Ente insider" to me. Outside of E2E encryption, what specifically does Ente offer that Immich doesn't?

Using stars as a way of deciding if something is better is such a weird way to prove your rightness. And i personally don't like that you have to self host. Ente has it as an option and it's easy to do but that's all i want it to be as with any service, an option. If you want to host photos for multiple users while respecting their privacy Ente is a better option. Photos are end to end encrypted, it means that only the person that uploaded the photo can see it (unless they shared it to someone else), not even the admin of the server (you) can see their photos. A problem with Ente tho is that the client has to do the work where as immich does it on the server so it's faster and stronger. No, i'm not paid by ente to post these, are you tho?
