Hi all!

I started my self-hosting journey a bit ago and currently host my own instance of Immich. With almost 30k pictures I feel like I want to find the best pictures and print an actual album for each event/trip/etc whenever it makes sense. I was wondering if there are any self-hosted options for this where I can, given a specific album (or folder assuming there is no Immich integration) it will choose the "best" pictures for printing (I understand that "best pictures" is very subjective).

I am unsure how you would go about that without AI. You could probably write a python script that hooks in with AI, that ranks by focus, brightness, saturation or other such criteria. However, I suspect that there would have to be a fair amount of manual labor to do that. That's an interesting request. I'll watch the thread and see what the outcome is.
