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 @selfhosting If you have a Mac, look into Parachute. It’ll copy your iCloud Photos to a NAS as a backup. I’d guess if you want to use immich, you’d just import from there.
@Aaron I could use a macOS VM if it doesn't require downloading everything to the VM itself at the same time
@luana I’m not sure about how much space parachute needs to use for downloads. But it may be worth a shot to try.
