I spun up immich on my computer and it does basically everything you're asking for. Its duplication detection is pretty good, but definitely tweak the parameters so you don't get too many false positive matches.
I've been eyeing immich for a few years now, but I haven't committed due to concerns about how to handle backups. What is your approach?
They seem to have good builtin support. Let immich make a db backup and then add the db backup directory to your normal backup.
(And the filesystem directory with photos of course) https://docs.immich.app/administration/backup-and-restore/
I just backup the folder with the pics to my NAS on a schedule with the rest of my backups.
I mount a filesystem from a nas which is backed up to S3 with my other data.
My approach is running it in a container (podman, but if you use docker it's the same) and simply backing up the mounted folders.
Thus way I can just move everything elsewhere and just restart the container.
