Immich.app is great for photos and open-source, including local face recognition.



Please be careful with backing up photos with immich.

They define uniqueness as "${filename-with-extensions}-${filesize}".

How many times does your system have IMG_4223.jpg? I got many. Different cameras, iPhones, etc, all started at IMG_0000.jpg.

How often does the file size collide? I don't have stats, but the reason I know this is because I had multiple occasions of failed backups and imports.


That is terrible. I have a number of issue reports open with immich but didn't know about this particular snag. Has this been reported to their GitHub?


wish all these manufacturers would do what pixel does and start filenames with PXL00X
