What are you using as a Google photos alternative? Currently I’m using Nextcloud but I’m thinking of switching to a more dedicated solution.

I mainly need to upload photos from my device automatically, have an UI to see and classify them, albuns and sharing.

    Currently using photoprism, butnot very happy with paywalled stuff and pretty outdated and weak image recognition

    Want to try/move to immich, but nixos doesn’t have it as a package(the only package i couldn’t find out of thousands i’ve used)

    Some people managed to rewrite what dockerfile does, but it look a bit too complicated, especially when i’ve never even tried it

    So the only viable option is run it as an oci container, which i’m not a fan of, and it fails for me anyway

      I’m using Immich in Nixos. It’s simple. Takes about 10 mins. You need to set Docker up in your configuration.nix then set Immich up using docker compose. Let me know if you need a hand getting it going.

        Omg, i forgot to reply to this one

        I don’t use docker, it’s not fully opensource, and not secure by default

        Also, setting up docker and running docker-compose is not the nix way of doing things

        Ideally you want to translate docker-compose.yml to nix

        Also, yesterday i tried to do this whole thing again, and broke even more than before

        This time i was able to run all the containers, but the server couldn’t resolve the redis container

          You could use podman instead and it’s oss and mostly a drop in replacement

            I know, those were just my words about docker specifically

            Not really drop-in when it comes to docker-compose, or basically any advanced use

            My opinion: docker is the worst, podman is better, native nixos is the best

            edit: also, just to mention, podman is the default on nixos for oci containers

      Immich always breaks for me. Even on fixed version its a hassle. Tried it maybe 4 times during intervalls, hoping that some consistency would be implemented, but never seems to go out of alpha versions of trying out a completely different configuration…
