(except I manually sort through my photos on a semi-weekly basis before I upload it to Immich).
I think that would be a better approach if I weren't very lazy, I think even after the initial run I could do that since I don't take lots of pictures but I was thinking about a fire and forget sort of thing.
If you want, I can cook up a little Python script you could stick into Cron to do all the tasks you described.
Thank you so much, I asked ChatGPT and it generated the bat file below (since I'm using Windows) do you think this would work?
@echo off
REM Change directory to your photos folder
cd /d "C:\path\to\your\photos\folder"
REM Sync files to backup folder
robocopy . "C:\path\to\your\Camera_Backup" /mir /xo
REM Delete files older than 15 days
forfiles /p "C:\path\to\your\photos\folder" /s /m *.* /d -15 /c "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE del @file"
REM Upload assets using immich cli
immich upload "C:\path\to\your\Camera_Backup" -r -a --delete
Thank you. First person to not advise me to use something other than immich for this. And thanks for the heads up about the CLI, can you share the upload script?
