If you use Nextcloud, install the App Memories and you will have the same functions as Immich plus all the upload functions of Nextcloud.

But if you are not interested in all the Nextcloud functionalities (including contact and calendar sync, musicserver, filesharing, etc) and just want picture management, Immich is the better choice.

Gnome devs threatening me with a good time on my surface laptop. Please stop.

Beautiful, I love the colors.

There is always emacs with org-roam.

Org-roam is kind of a wiki, you write your notes with all the formatting power of an org-file and you can link to other notes you have written.

Of course everything is searchable, with tags, without tags, however you want.

BUT: it takes time to get used to the shortcuts, and it takes a lot of time to configure everything how you like it.

The result is worth it.

Edit: I use Nextcloud to sync my notes accross my devices. On the smartphone there seems to be the App OrgNote available, but I haven’t checked it out, as I don’t use my smartphone that much.

Worked well for me. Although all the people I care about had already Signal, Element or Threema installed, so I am not a great pull factor.

And those everyday moms from child care or from wherever can reach me via SMS, for the two messages/year.

“Microsoft is an evil company, basically the enemy of free software, but here is why you should use their product…”

Booooo

Totally different for me:

• NC-calendar syncs two different calendars (work and private) accross all my devices.
• NC Photos with Memories organizes 2 TB of photos and has all the functions Immich has.
• NC Password Manager syncs my Passwords
• I share big files with my clients via NC and photo albums to friends and family.
• NC syncs and organizes different Input-folders for my paperless-ngx-server.
• I update NC with a small script, works every time

So it replaces at least 5 different Programs. And it’s 80 % private use, 20 % for my business. Not too big, not too clunky, just the right tool.

Nice try mom, but I am adulting now.

I installed the version from F-Droid-Store, Version 0.6-something. The main problem for me was, that you couldn’t download single songs, only complete albums - and I gave up on the App.

This post made me install the 0.9-beta-APK (directly from github), and it already fullfills all my wishes, you can download single songs now! And I love that you can filter for your favorites and download them all at once. Really looking forward to further process, it’s so promissing.

I guess you only use the standard Nextcloud photo app, not Memories. It is very comparable to the features you describe + if you have already set up your Nextcloud, there is no need to work with yet another software on your server.

Memories also uses automatic tagging, so searching for tent and beach would probably get you the same result. But I guess they are not using the best recognition software, I get a few missinterpretations here and there. (My marzipan potatoe with googly eyes is not an ‘Instrument’. But I guess it’s a challange for any software)

No special process, I installed Memories as admin on my Nextcloud, pointed it to my Picture-folder and my Smartphone-Uploadfolder, and made sure I had the other Apps as recommended here installed (e.g. ‘Photos’ to use albums and ‘Recognize’ for automatic face tagging)

The Memories-App on the Smartphone is also neat. And it is available on F-Droid.

My picture folder contains 1,4 TB of data, with many RAW-files and some Videos. Memories is handling that without a problem. I especially like the way it handles RAW-files, by grouping them together with the fitting JPEG.

I don’t know about how ressource heavy it is, but my server is really nothing special.

Features I like and use:

• automatic and manual people recognition
• sorting it on a map according to the geo data
• most used: Timeline, sorted by date. I barely organize my photos in folders now, because the timeline-sorting is what I want and enjoy.
• Albums to share fotos with family and friends. They don’t need a Nextcloud-Account to access them.

If you already use Nextcloud, try the Memorie-Extension. It has all the features of Immich. The tagging-feature for faces has been there for at least the year I am using it now.

I love the additional freedom too.

For me there weren’t even problems with nasty banking apps, all apps from three german banks are working normal.

For all people reading this: there are zero privacy-based limitations with GrapheneOS.

Isn’t the movie Hancock a bit in this direction?

Then you can use jesus to convert the water component again and repeat the process.

I have a cheap knock off jesus from Alibaba and even he can turn wine into winier wine, if you tell him that it’s just red water. Maybe you are using your jesus wrong?

Can’t get any more GNU/Linux than that, nice.

I started with 30, so not far off. My first step was to try to daily drive Linux. Best decision ever, working with a computer suddenly was fun and exciting again.
