One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.

Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don't know.

Yeah, ideally something like Immich is just some metadata pointing at existing files. An album should be some combination of synced directories (i.e. new files added outside Immich should be detected and added, if selected) and individual files.

That doesn't sound that complex. Maybe I'll look into Immich and see about adding that. I don't currently use it, but I don't have an image solution, so I'll give it a shot.

Did you see the external libraries options?

I haven't used Immich, so no. I might get around to it sometime in the next couple months.
