Okay, heeeeelp, how the fuck am I supposed to upload almost 230k photos from iCloud Photos to my NAS?

  • Keeping all metadata and original files (HEIC, HEVC, HEIF, etc)
  • Keeping live photos videos

Considering that:

  • Without using immich app because it's buggy as fuck and completely shits itself after a few uploads thousand
  • Without using the nextcloud app because it removes metadata from videos when autouploading
  • Without using iCloud Takeout because not only that separates all metadata from the files with the sole purpose of making your life harder requiring some script to fix which apparently only works on mac, but also that would require me to download God knows how many zips from Apples website totaling almost 3TB

Someone help should I just accept that I'll just lose 230k pictures because no one seems to make a software that works properly???

@luana I used this guide and it went smoothly: https://couteausuis.se/tinkering/2023/10/13/migrate-apple-photos-to-immich/

They use osxphotos for the Apple side and immich-go for the Immich upload.

Make sure, if you’re using a reverse proxy to access Immich, that you aren’t hitting an artificial upload size limit. That happened to me with Traefik until I disabled the limit.

@deancommasteven That'd require me to have a mac device with at least like 2TB of free storage
@luana You can export to a mounted network device. Sorry if I missed it though, do you not have a Mac available? With just an iPhone I’m not sure how else to get them that you haven’t tried.
