I'm currently in the middle of moving all of my photos, but I have a couple of issues that have come up.

  • The first one has to do with metadata.When I replaced my phone recently, all the photo files were marked as "created" on the same day. They still show in the correct order by datestamp in Google Photos, but everything older than last April is just an undifferentiated mess. Is there a way to get them back in the right order?

  • I have thousands of photos. Is there a way to easily see the total number in both Google and Proton to compare that everything is indeed backed up?

  • There does not seem to be a way to jump to a particular date in Proton, which makes it arduous to find any photos, even if they were in the right order. Is there something I am missing? Is this feature coming?

These issues prevent me from being able to complete the switch. Can anyone help?

Okay, dumb question… when I install Immich, it asks for a server endpoint URL. How do I get one of those? Do I need to purchase that from a web hosting service or is it something I can set up from any internet connected computer?

Can you point me to which type of installation you're attempting? You should be able to safely ignore that part if you won't be accessing it from the outside world. You'll just be accessing it using the local IP address and port.

They probably installed the app and not the server.

Ah, good point.

Yes that's in the app. In the server install instructions there is always a line like

http://your-machine-ip:2283

I don't understand, do I literally type that or insert something else there? Do I have to be on the same network or can I access it from anywhere?
