Selfhosted

I was one of the first Immich core developers but had to leave a year ago due to a change in my job situation.

Just wanted to say that the team (especially Alex, the founder) are wonderful people and very dedicated to the project. When they don’t implement the features everyone wants, there is usually a very good reason, like security or architectural concerns. The philosophy behind the project is also to do things slowly but right.

I believe they continue focussing on robusness and bugfixing. A topic that we discussed a lot was e2e encryption. We really wanted to implement that, but it was very hard and back then would have compromised performance too much. I still think that e2e encryption will come at some point.

I believe it will transform into a basketball

Their facial recognition is really good! Makes organizing photos a breeze. Immich is by far the best software currently. But hopefully the setup becomes less of a hassle.

A more sophisticated query system would be interesting.

For example if I want to see every picture with Joseph in it, that's really easy. But what if I'd like to share those with Joseph along with the albums he's in?

Similar to that would be a query by location and person. Or a query that includes two people.

Where I wish it would be:

• Somewhere where there are more customisationS of how it actually stores files.

• Somewhere where it's possible to sync instances.

Shift+click a range of images to add them to a location in batch, please.

• Allow to share an Album over webdav
• On Android the possibikity to add a Picture to an Album even it is still not uploaded.
• Setup an Album to be synced permanently and full.

[Edit] Webdav:

• Deleted photos get the Album Tag removed.
• Possibility to upload to the webdav and get the photo into the album
• Rename a photo set the Photo title [setting]
• read write protect

It'll be safe to host without extra software in front of it to make it read-only
