I know we had posts like this before, but Immich deserves 👏 One more update, one less container, the best Google Photos alternative, its just amazing!! Don’t forget to edit your docker-compose [https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases] before updating

Playing with the demo, it lacks adding text/captions and reordering photos compared to Google Photos. Any other suggestions?

Considering that it’s free, always improving and self-hosted, I am more than happy that it lacks some minor features from Google Photos. :) It’s not perfect, but I can relax that nothing like this would happen to me:

Not only that, but Google Photos already pulled a huge bait-and-switch. It used to be free unlimited photo storage for compressed photos…until they just stopped.

I love immich!

I am not concerned about that. Business primary goal is to make money, and Google is business, so any free service is temporary, especially if not powered by ads.
