Updating software that's in such early development without reading the release notes is foolish.

Is it hard to breathe in that rarified air, up on your high horse?

I'll keep taking my calculated risks. You keep judging strangers on the internet. 👍

roofuskit is right. Unless you use it as secondary method of backing up your memories - it is foolish. There are constant breaking changes that requires modification to Docker-Compose for Immich project. But you do you. :) I am not Google to tell you what to do. 😅

Immich saves pictures on the filesystem, where they are easily picked up by all my backup solutions. My pictures also get uploaded on NextCloud before being moved to Immich's auto-upload folder.

... Where exactly is the risk for my precious memories? The bloody thing could rm -rf /* for all I care.

Immich's repo explicitly states not to rely on it as a primary backup of your photos and videos. Seems to me the more foolish thing would be to ignore that advice.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
