A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have spent a long time at Synology Photos, along with my family. We have tags and albums. Is there a good way to migrate? I'm even open to migrating manually (album by album) if I could trust the process.

I did this. I kept both.

I have Synology photos and immich.

Synology photo is faster to load photos when you scroll to a random date. Also on mobile, the map view is fast and reliable. Also the Android widget can show images of a specific person instead of a random photo.

Immich has better face detection and significantly better search tool. But is super laggy when you're looking for a specific date and time and location.

My Synology is a DS 1821+ with dual nvme cache and 32gb mem My immich is running on a proxmox using a late model Xeon processor and NVME gen 3 and 32gb mem. Nothing else is running on the proxmox.

What’s the spec on the VM running Immich?
