Hey Alex, just wanted to say you rock man.
Been using Immich from one of your very first posts, and except one time when I messed things up with DB upgrade, everything is working rock solid. Touchwood.
Thank you for all of your efforts, can you make donations an option in the app? Would love to support the team.
Awesome, I'll check it out.
While I got your attention, please redesign the immich logo, reminds me of my grandma using comic sans on a document. :))
Didn't know that the project will be this huge when you posted it first here.
it helped me take one more step forward to get out of Google's services.
Thanks and good luck.
Bare metal install option would be very appreciated, then there will also be a simple tteck script for Proxmox and user base will further increase. Docker is still a hurdle for many.
I scrolled through the discussion and remembered why I love Docker. The only people who see Docker as a hurdle are those who haven't used it. Especially with these microservice apps.

I run my self-hosting stuff on lxd and nest docker, but lxd is a better fit for 90% of my needs. I don't hate throwing docker-only or docker-preferred stuff into a nested docker container, but I will almost always look for alternatives to docker-only software. That said, I fully understand why immich devs would prefer to package for docker-only and leave other approaches to the community.
Great interview. Love your project. I first heard about it from the Selfhosted.show guys about a year ago. Props all around
Listened this morning. Gonna install over the weekend! Love it.
