Hey folks!

It's been a year and a half since I last posted about my self-hosted photo gallery here with release v0.15.0.

If you are happy with Immich that's great! I'm mostly having some fun here and the more the merrier, right? :)

See link for the release notes since v0.15 or just skip to the demo.

Happy to hear any feedback, ideas, suggestions, or comments :)

Really didn't like Immich because of its massive install size and being forced to use Docker - this project is exactly what I was looking for. One simple go binary with no extra hoops to get it up and running? Delicious.

Installed, will be following it for sure! Thanks for the excellent software.

    It's the install size of docker and any container it brings down with it.

    Really, I just don't like the idea of being forced to use something massive like docker for a single program.

    Just give me a binary and let me set up hardening via systemd - or at least a source tarball or something.

    Sincerely: someone who thinks software should not primarily be distributed through docker.

    Exactly my situation. Thanks @mlunar@lemmy.world. The only way this could be done better was to do it in PHP / have fastcgi so it wouldn't require a constantly running background process specifically for it. People can say a lot of things about PHP, but nothing beats the fastcgi model.

    I don't know a lot about fastcgi, but looking it up it seems like it also keeps a persistent process running to avoid execution overhead, but I don't know how that process is managed 🤷‍♂️

    Either way, you could use a supervisor of sorts that shuts down the process/container after some idle time (at least for containers I know some exist) and that should probably work fine (outside of interrupting scanning operations).

    I haven't tried it myself yet though :)

    More of less, the good thing about PHP + fastcgi is that it keeps a configure amount of minimum persistent processes (plus a dynamic number) to avoid execution overhead like you said... now there's an important detail, PHP processes are generic, meaning if you've 50 apps hosted in your server they can all be served with just one persistent process. No need to spin up 50 processes for each app like with node/go etc.

    Supervisors shutting down containers/processes are good, but starting up is slow compared to the single PHP idle process ready to go for any app. :)
