I’m finally migrating from iCloud Photos to Immich next weekend. I finally have my NAS setup going
- Can you please let us know how the transition went after a few weeks? I’m also considering the same but I’m also content with Apple Photos features like live photos etc.
  
  I transitioned from Google photos to immich about a year ago:
  face recognition is absurdly much better
  searching for images is some black magic stuff
  it's generally faster
  it's map is really slow
  
  Live Photos works in Immich.
  One thing I really like about Apple photos is the memories that it suggests.
  
  Live photos are supported but only in the web version as of now
Immich is such a cool piece of software 🤩
Every day that I don't switch, immich keeps getting better!
- Yeah I've been waiting until it's updates stop breaking backwards compatibility. It's sounding better and better as time goes on.
  
  Wait no more! Immich 2.0 is the first stable release. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/tag/v2.1.0
- Do it
I love immich and as soon as the feature for automatic clean up for already backed up images is available it’s going to be perfect.
- automatic stacking would be nice too
oh fuck me i missed the 2.0;-)
Those who run immich, how have you been backing up your library?
My deployment isn't anything fancy, it is currently a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 2TB external drive for the photo library. Been running for more than 6 months with minimal issues. Now that we are at a stable release I need to get some kinda backup going for the photos themselves.
- The same way as all other services: all relevant data (compose.yml and all volume mounts) are in a btrfs subvolume. Every night a snapshot gets made and mirrored to a remote server by btrbk.
  
  how much do you pay for the remote server? was thinking about doing something like this for nextcloud (and i might end up using immich in the future)
- I run Immich in a VM on Proxmox which gets backed up every 12 hours and all my photos are on the NAS which gets snapshotted every 12 hours and pushed to an external drive and a Hetzner box.
  
  Translation: "I run immich in a virtual machine, which I can manage from a web browser. The photos themselves are stored on a different device which gets backed up to a remote location twice a day."
  So why run immich in a virtual machine instead of in, say, a docker? Wouldn't that be way less overhead? (Or is immich the only thing you're hosting?)
- I run it baremetal, the photos / videos are all on a separate location (so are "Externsl Libraries" in Immich) and are backed up...
  As far as the Immich application itself, I'm not currently backing up anything as I've been trialing it... but, I'll aim to backup any configurations, but I'm thinking to maybe ignore any database - it can just relearn everything if I need to do a restore.... depends how big that DB is...
- Nothing fancy. I use Backrest for all my backups, and a few of my plans just include the Immich directory. My NAS is an entirely separate machine so my local backups go there, while everything is simultaneously pushed to a backblaze bucket
- Immich photos are one of the main thing I backup. I use duplicacy and I backup to backblaze B2 storage. It does incremental backups. Same thing with docker persistent data or other things I consider important.
- I clone the dirs nightly to a separate server + storage. Monthly to an offsite.
- I have Immich on a proxmox container and use proxmox backup. It has already save me once.
- I backup the underlying storage (which is a VM) that immich writes to.
  In theory it should be a perfect copy that just crashed.
- Borg backup runs every hour on all my docker folders
- ZFS sending to a remotelab.
Has anyone be able to get memories to work. I don't get any notifications. I probably don't understand how that works. Any pointers except the official documentation will be helpful.
- Notifications? It doesn't give you notifications. It just shows it at the top in the main interface (if there are any).
- They show images from the same day in past years. So if your library has no images >= 1 year old I'm not sure if anything shows up.
