| Immich is such a no-brainer replacement for Apple Photos or Google Photos, combined with VPN like Tailscale, it's almost a drop in replacement |

| Beware that migrating back from Immich to iCloud/Google is not something Immich cares about. There is no "download all" anywhere, best way is to go to the server and get raw files from there. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/14365 |

| ▲ | tclancy 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They’re literally on a disk drive I can physically touch. I think I can figure out a migration strategy for that. | |
| ▲ | Panda4 4 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | A download button would be great but the files are already stored on the device you can copy them with a usb or go on the device and upload it directly. | |
| ▲ | willcmcc 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | what do you mean download all? its your server over your files. If you want them, go get them! Or just point google / apple / whatever upload at your library directory. | |
| ▲ | wsor4035 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | maybe I fail to see your point, but following the link, then https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/5068 is referenced which is resolved by pr https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/18878 adding bulk download functionality (may have manually select all to bulk download, unsure). At any rate I don't see where they say explicitly that they are against it | |
| ▲ | stogot 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | There’s no download all in apple photos either unless they added it | | |
| ▲ | buildbot 31 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | CMD-A then export all X unmodified originals works fine | |
| ▲ | Terretta 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | And yet, the same is true for Apple photos about ease of export: If you set the pref to keep originals locally, they're all on your drive, in original form, as well as the derived versions including caches of raw to jpeg, resolutions, and edited versions. That said, Apple Photos does let you export even if only in cloud. Open the library, select all, and File > Export ... > Export Unmodified Originals. It pauses for a second or two on my quarter million images, but is then happy to comply. |

| Are there any side effects of leaving Immich public? I think people overestimate the risks. Just update your stuff regularly, follow simple rules, and set up something like CrowdSec. I know it's simpler to just use Tailscale and similar tools, but recently I see the trend that people don't even consider otherwise. |

| I only wish it would support nested albums (or albums in folders) so it could be an easy replacement for lightroom cloud as well. I have all of my photos organized like this: `events -> year/month - holiday -> (album_1, ...)`. and: `home town -> year -> (album_1, ...)`. Photos will be in multiple albums, and there will be edits as well. And I need to track the picked/rejected state as well (and filter on it). Only reason I haven't moved over to Immich yet is because I am struggling to map my photo organization onto it's way of doing things in a way that's nice. So far my attempts have been unwieldy. |

| Is there any side effects of leaving the phone connected to Tailscale VPN all day? |
| |
| ▲ | ctippett a minute ago | parent | next [-] | | I have a static route configured on my home's gateway that enables any device on my network to access Tailscale. I have Tailscale turned on my iPhone pretty much all the time anyway, but even if I didn't I'd still be able to access services I have hosted that are only accessible on my tailnet. | |
| ▲ | cevn an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I remember having problems using tailscale vpn 24/7 and pihole on my home network with the phone pointed at the 192.168 address for DNS. Pages would take 5s to resolve and start loading. Unfortunately, Pihole was less important than Tailscale and I have to put up with mobile ads. | |
| ▲ | Grombobulous 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | If you are okay with internet exposure on some level, Cloudflare Tunnel is a really fantastic product: https://developers.cloudflare.com/tunnel/ It’s obviously not a magical security layer that eliminates all issues related to public Internet exposure, but in my opinion it is good enough for the average home user. | | | |
| ▲ | dawnerd an hour ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I leave my phone connected 24/7 and don’t notice any downsides. Only have to disable it on some networks when traveling to make awful captive portals work. | |
| ▲ | KomoD 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Could impact battery usage, possibly? But the way I do access Immich externally is not with Tailscale directly on my phone but involves exposing a caddy instance, running on a $1 VPS, to the internet. If requests include a specific very long header (which I randomly made up), it then forwards those requests to my real Immich instance, which runs on my NAS. Headers can be configured within the mobile app. It has worked really well for me so far. | | |
| ▲ | rmunn an hour ago | parent [-] | | Here's some data. Well, technically anecdata, I suppose. My phone has been powered on but inactive all night; I charged it to 80% before going to bed, then unplugged it and left it where I can reach it from my bed, as is my habit. (I'm in an Asian timezone, in case you hadn't guessed, so it's morning for me while it's evening in America right now). Its battery is now at 73%. The Android battery report says 6% battery usage from Kindle (makes sense, I started reading a book when I woke up), 0.7% from Signal (haven't sent any messages yet today but have received a few), and 0.3% from Tailscale. So when you're not using the Tailscale network actively, you'll hardly notice the battery drain. |
