Immich vs Ente ? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 19 hours 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!

Don't forget to change the database. There were breaking changes there as they moved to a different version in 3.0 which causes error loops.

All of my stuff luckily moved seamlessly without having to restore a backup.

Yeah, it's going the be a whole ordeal. I will have to block an afternoon for the migration. Definitely not a "never breaks anymore" scenario. Everything can be broken, there's no perfectly stable software.
