One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.

Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don’t know.

    One thing I don’t get, if someone could explain it to me, is what’s the point of immich over e.g. Nextcloud? Immich is just for photo and video, right? Why not just have a cloud file drive instead? To me, I feel like it’s a waste to have both, since I use Nextcloud to both sync my PC and as a secondary backup, in which case I’d have two copies of my photos on my home server if I wanted to use Immich as well. Am I missing something or is it for people with different workflows?

      Nextcloud is like Google drive, immich is like Google photos.
      You’d typically prefer to look at your photo albums in Google photos instead of Google drive.
