PHOTO STORAGE
Version: 1.65.0 Web: https://immich.app
If you love the convenience of Google Photos, but aren’t really comfortable placing your I pictures in the hands of a third party, you have to give Immich a go. It’s a self-hosted photo storage and sharing service that’s pretty similar to the popular proprietary service, with both its intuitive web interface, and mobile app.
Immich is deployed as a Docker container, so you need to install Docker and the Docker Compose orchestration tool before you set up Immich. This shouldn’t be an issue as all major distros have detailed instructions on installing Docker and Docker Compose.
You also need to make sure the computer you are setting Immich up on has at least 4GB of RAM, plus a dual-core CPU for an acceptable level of performance.
To ease the installation process, instead of manually using Docker Compose to deploy Immich, you can use the experimental script (that worked flawlessly in our test) to do the heavy lifting for you:
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/immich-app/immich/main/install.sh | bash
The command creates a directory named immichdata under the current directory and downloads and sets up your Immich instance automatically. The process might take some time depending on the resources at its disposal.
When it’s done, it spits out the URL where you can access the Immich instance. For instance, if the IP address of the machine you’ve set Immich up on is 10.0.2.15, you can access your Immich web service at http://10.0.2.15:2283.
On initial login, you’re asked to create an admin user. Later on you can use the admin user to add other users with restricted access to your installation from under the Administration section. The default password for non-administrative users is password, which the users can change after logging in to the app. After setting up the server, you can grab mobile app, available for both Android
