But... Immich does this just fine, and is pretty great at it.

One of these is proprietary, so one option is good

Not everyone has the technical ability or hardware to selfhost immich, even just for LAN access. If I tried to teach my wife enough about docker/docker-compose to get immich set up, running, kept updated, and troubleshooting when it has problems... I would probably be limping away with a fork stuck in my leg. Could it be a fun project for people that are interested in it? Definitely, but most people want an easy cloud service that works as easily as data-gathering alternatives over something they have to maintain themselves even in the form of occasional docker-compose pull

I think I'm going to wait until immich thinks so as well

I have self hosted immich almost a year, tried to make it the standard for my family. For me it was a pain in the ass to keep it running and available to have a smooth experience on my family. I had to rebuild it several times because of breaking changes, the iOS app is not working properly, I ended up removing it, too much time consuming.

Yeah, Immich has been on my radar for a number of years, but I've read a lot about breaking changes being a pain to deal with, and I'm a bit busy as it is right now with work and other personal projects to tinker too heavily.

Will take a closer look as I hear a stable release is planned soon.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I've been running mine for a year or two and don't really mess with it at all. I think I remember those breaking changes maybe 18 months ago? Was not difficult to update, and it's been running smooth as butter since.

Personally I don't trust myself with self-hosting something as important as photos. It would probably be fine, but I'm willing to pay for someone else to manage the infrastructure.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Backups. You should be taking regular backups whether it's you hosting or Google. If you are, there's really very little risk.

You'll also have the images on the phone, which should remain long enough for the images automatically stored to get into backup storage. Personally, all my images upload from my phone automatically after I'm on WiFi for 10 minutes.

This is a betrayal of Lord Immich's good name and estate.
