If you're hosting Immich on a spare computer, using an old external disk drive, reduce your storage requirements by converting your Jpeg files to webp. Keep the .jpg extension too! You can probably get them down to about half the size of a Jpeg.
This is really only if you're exporting files from elsewhere to Immich. I export from Lightroom Classic. Don't ever go touch your original files!
for i in *.jpg
do
cwebp -metadata all "$i" -q 70 -m 6 -o out.tmp
mv out.tmp "$i"
done
@donncha hmm I just mostly have a bunch of files in directories on my HD, is inmich much better?
Ok a substantial number of photos are in my gallery or backed up on NAS or in Google photos.
@va2lam it depends. It's basically a clone of Google Photos, but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles GP has. It does however support tags, folder view, smart search, face recognition, partner sharing.
If you want to get away from GP I can highly recommend it. It is great.
A "stable" 1.0 release will be out next year, but it's good enough now. Very nice mobile client too.
@donncha thanks. Inertia is a powerful force, but one of these days I should indeed get off Google Photos...
@ramon yeah, that's really good too.
@ramon it's not too bad. They have a docker compose file that only needs the external storage set up AFAIR.
Docker makes it easy to install both of them.
