Immich vs Ente ? (lemmy.world)
submitted 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) by warmaster@lemmy.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Chosing the right photo app for my family

So, Immich vs Ente, this is my last piece of the selfhosted puzzle. Please help me make an informed decision:

Immich

on the plus side, it seems to have more features and it has a gazillion integrations with other selfhosted software. Downside: breaking changes are fairly common AFAIK.

Ente

looks like the opposite, more mature, scoped and less integrated.

Am I reading this right? Am I missing something?

Edit: Thanks everyone, I'm going with immich!

Yeah I might switch over too because immich didn't originally have some of the sort and detection features like Photoprism.

Photoprism is pretty good but it doesn't have some of the nicer UI features immich has.

Also, accounts. Long promised for community or lowest tier then integrated only in the expensive tier of photoprism IIRC, which made me switch because that only then works for individuals.
