I’ve been using different software during the years to keep track of my pictures. None of them - other than Facebook - allowed to tag faces in pictures manually when the AI failed to do so. That was always very frustrating because some of the most important pictures I wanted to have there were not tagged and there was no way of manually doing it.
This is until today where this feature finally landed, I’m so excited, this will make the app much more useful. Now we could even pretend our cat Leo is a person and just tag his face manually ;)
Apples photos also has this feature, and it was one of the last things keeping me from self hosting photos.
Gonna start a mirror for my photo library now and see how it stacks up.
You can mount the directories into immich, even read only if you want.
Haven’t heard about this project before. I was using a self hosted Nextcloud instance so far. What would be the benefit of switching to immich? I guess immich does have some advances features, like the tagging was mentioned, specifically for picture management.
I think it’s much easier to use across devices, no lag, quick processing times, and a really transparent and active developer
I love Immich, i think it’s a great replacement for Google photos.
As someone who used both, the biggest difference is a nicer and much faster UI for photos, oh, and you can search images for contents
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.
My worry with this is that it might be super resource heavy and unstable. That’s not based on thorough investigation though. I’ve been eyeing it for my 80gb photo library. How does it work for you?
Still leaning on containers? I’ll wait, if that’s the case.
