Link is a 1h42m video interview between Louis Rossmann, FUTO and Immich developers with a introduction to Immich by Louis.

Immich is an open source self-hosted in-development tool to manage image libraries from a central server, and sync/distribute them across your devices, as an alternative to Google Photos. Also see: https://immich.app

The important news here is that FUTO has funded full time development on Immich for 3 years.

I already had nextcloud, never used immach. But I installed memories a few minutes ago, and it seems fast enough. The android app actually works. Truth be told I might still try immach at some point but installing memories was easy to get started with since i already have nextcloud. seems to build on the main in photos app so I'm not too worried about it being a 3rd party addon.

Cool. Don’t know if you replied to the wrong person but this context might be better suited to be a parent comment.

The person I replied to made a claim and I wanted them to back it up. Since you haven’t even tried “immich”, with an I, I’m not sure what you hoped to get out of this interaction.

Good point maybe where I should start is why I never moved to immich in the first place. I have a digital camera as well as a phone, somr photos I process on my workstation. It has the nextcloud app syncing images so I can update files easily using photo editing programs on my workstation. This setup works well for me. I don't really want to move away from nextcloud if I don't need to.

Moving to immich looks like I either change my existing process or I use and external album since there is no nextcloud adapter.

The external album setup looked like more work and since I already have nextcloud making it work slightly better for storing photos is a more appealing solution for the time being
