Halleluia!

yeah they could have put just the link... thank you

v2.5.2 is planned to release today, they pulled v2.5.0 android apk since there was a bug with it. So I'd suggest waiting for the release today at least.

Looks like mine auto updated already and it seems fine

Just checked, there is an issue with the companion app on playstore, they have delayed the android app update due to an issue, so wait until play store shows the update and then do both (server and mobile app)

I updated my image yesterday and haven't run into any issues. I also haven't tried the web backups yet. Soooo 🤷

I really want to use Immich but I've installed it 3 different times and each time an upgrade completely breaks my installation and I spend hours troubleshooting. And yes, I read the patch notes and do whatever changes they mark in bold red as a warning.

It's amazing when it works and they're doing a great job at adding features, but my God does it break if you just look at it wrong.

What do you mean? My partner and I use the same Immich server, but I don't see her photos unless they are explicitly shared.

Can you clarify? I have several family members with accounts and we don't see each others pictures. Are you uploading to a shared album?

@CallMeMrFlipper@lemmy.world and @iamthetot@piefed.ca I used a setting on immich called "partner sharing" or something like it (my immich instance is on ptBR). If I'm not mistaken, it was on my account settings. There I can mark an option to my partners photos be shown on my timeline. There's something That I have to do on looged on their accounts as well, but I can't quite remeber it now.

Edit: Just update my instance now and everything is apparently running fine.

It might be this bit

On top of that, backup and restore functionality is now fully supported in the web interface. Users can restore database backups directly from the Immich UI, either through the administration maintenance page or during onboarding of a new instance.

It's a running meme on their website. They don't want to name Google, so they call it that way.

So the font must be Google Sans.

I guess it's just google sans, they use this placeholder elsewhere too

If you are talking about using Linux on a desktop, then use DigiKam for photo management. It is far more advanced, because it is a desktop application and been around a lot longer.

You could have a workflow of a desktop environment AND immich on the server for the best of what they both offer.

This software is more meant to be ran in a server environment, it’s suppose to be a replacement to subscription based photo/video cloud storage. I would not recommend you run this on a desktop you use daily as it’ll consume resources in the background slowing your desktop down, this is kinda why NAS storage systems exist.

Once you get a grasp on the BASH shell I would suggest playing around with docker and docker compose in a headless environment (headless = no desktop environment, shell only) as there are loads of applications you can self-host over your network.

There are docker script and docker compose installs. It was basically reading the documents and Editting a few text files and launching it in docker. Hardest part I found was the face tagging, it was totally counter intuitive to assign a face and persons name. Like almost obfuscated. Once you set that up though it just does its thing superbly well

I personally found this really easy to initially install, much easier than photo prism.. however it's died twice on me (postgres issues) first was due to an update and then incorrect permissions... I'm not sure what broke it the second time... So whilst easy to install, does still require maintenance and time to fix issues.
