Immich Self-Hosted Photos and Videos Solution - A Warts and All Review
Immich is a really modern looking and responsive self-hosted solution for your photos and videos. It has a number of similarities to Google Photos and is often promoted as being the closest alternative right now to Google Photos. I've installed Immich on my VPS, connected it to my 13,000+ Piwigo photos, and been testing it out for the last week.
My review shows what is working well, and what I see as some potential shortfalls (as at Dec 2023) compared to Piwigo and other solutions. Immich is under very active development, so I'm sure some of these issues will be addressed in the coming year.
But if you are considering Immich, and are wondering how it compares to something like Piwigo, this video may be of help to you. Likewise, if you're trying to get Immich to connect to external libraries.
