    I dumped Google photos for self hosted immich and it’s been great.

    I went to install immich but it was very heavy… I don’t need AI in a selfhosted Google Photo’s replacement.

      I’m sorry, but then you are the minority. AI image categorization and face recognition is amazing for finding specific pictures quickly

        This is one of the few things I can get behind with machine learning. Locally run, doesn’t “phone home”, just analyzes faces and categorizes them. That’s it.

          That’s great when your photos have faces. Mine mostly don’t. Also they don’t come from my phone. So Google is also fairly useless.

            It also works on simple objects, not as good as Google yet but good enough for me. I can search for keyboard or bicycle and find pictures that way.

        I wasn’t super thrilled about the idea myself, but with the ability to disable it I figured I’d give it a try.

        Personally it’s a really cool feature that adds to the experience.

      I got it running on a raspberry pi and have disabled the machine learning parts in the docker compose file. Works great.

      It’s really not that heavy. I have Immich - and several other services - running on a 4-core VM with 16GB RAM, running on 7th gen Intel hardware alongside another 4c/16GB VM and several LXC containers. It does the job just fine with more than enough overhead.
