It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

I have setup a immich docker container and am slowly moving users and images from google photos.

Replacing Google Photos is still on my to-do list. How do you like Immich so far? Did you compare it to any alternatives?

Interested in this too - immich gets so much viral hype I'm a little suspicious of it

I set it up a couple weeks ago. It's alright; facial recognition works pretty well, the files are easy to manage, and setup was pretty straightforward (using docker).

Searching for images works fairly well, as long as you're searching for content and not text. Searching 'horse' for example does a pretty good job showing you your pictures of horses, but often misses images containing the word horse. Not always, but it's noticeable to me.

The mobile apps work well too; syncing files in the background as they appear, optionally creating albums based on folders. Two things I find missing though are the ability to edit faces/people in an image (you've gotta do that from a browser), and the ability to see what albums an image is in and quickly navigate to one.

It's a developing project that's well on it's way. A good choice imo.
