immich VS photoview

It really is hard to leave Gmail when all of your data has been conveniently stored therein. This is one of Google's retention strategies and it is indeed brilliant.

That said, there's a vast number of self-hosted alternatives like Stalwart Mail (email) [1], Immich (images) [2], NextCloud (Google Docs) [3], etc.

Last year we added CLIP-based image search to https://immich.app/ and even though I have a pretty good understanding of how it works, it still blows my mind damn near every day. It's the closest thing to magic I've ever seen.

I’m a big fan of https://immich.app/ and I use it every day for thousands of assets

Real-world applications often require complex queries that go beyond simple Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) search. To explore a practical example of such applications, let's take a closer look at immich, a self-hosted photo and video backup solution that highlights the importance of advanced vector and traditional relational queries.

I discovered these 3 amazing projects recently:

Cryptpad, essentially google docs/sheets/forms e2e encrypted. It does include collaboration. https://github.com/cryptpad/cryptpad

Immich, google photos self hostable, with share options https://github.com/immich-app/immich

Nginxproxymanager manages certificates and proxies to self hosted stuff through nginx https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager

Great self hosting stuff!

I realize it's very hard, but can we maybe reconsider opening the encryption-at-rest feature request? https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/450

Maybe we can give temporary access to processing steps in the pipeline, then have Immich forget the keys after it does the processing?

Most lightweight one I've found so far: https://photoview.github.io/

I looked at a bunch of these 2 years ago and ended up using PhotoView for a private gallery. It had the right mix of simplicity and features, and I was actually able to get it running.

Take a look at Photoview: https://photoview.github.io/ . I think that it will fit all your needs (or at least, most all of them)

I use Photoview with Nextcloud, because I like its UI more than Nextcloud.

I can suggest 3 options. * Photoview - It is like a gallery with recursive folder structure (folders inside folders) support. You can create shareable links for the folders, with password protection. The UI is great. And your clients will be able to download the complete folder, also individual images at either full resolution or reduced. The issue is you cannot use the UI to add or delete photos, but it can be a great thing for security and stability. * Chevereto - It is more like imgur. You upload all the files using the UI and create albums and their sharable links. I do not think if it supports videos at all. * Nextcloud - Another great option if you want to give your clients a Google Drive or a Dropbox like experience. You can create custom links, like example .com/client-name, which can look more professional. For better videos experience you'll need hardware acceleration.

I have tried A LOT of solutions and I finally stopped after using Nextcloud and Photoview. I synchronise files from my computer to Nextcloud using rclone and view them on Photoview whenever I need. You can sync to you nextcloud using their official app on phone. I use Photoview because I have not found a single self-hosted solution that keeps the folder structure and lets me view them as both, in folder structures as well as in a chronological timeline.

Bl4ckB1s3ct0r gave the right answer - Photoprism and Immich can be considered as open-source alternatives of Google Photos. Another one is Photoview.
