What it is and why it matters

Immich is a self-hosted photo and video management solution positioned as a Google Photos alternative. It automatically backs up the phone camera roll and includes face recognition, search, albums and a timeline, with the files on your own hardware. Like all self-hosting, the cost shifts to time: you must run the server, apply updates, take backups and own security; for sensitive data it is worth weighing against a managed service.

Key points

  • Automatic phone camera-roll backup to your own server
  • Face recognition, search, albums and timeline, with photos on your hardware
  • Self-hosting: the cost shifts to running the server, updates, backups and security
