      I love immich, but I’m going to settle for something that doesn’t require to modify the compose every couple of months due to breaking changes. Trying to apply changes for two breaking updates in one go killed it for me.

      I’ll check this one for the time being

        If you haven’t already ruled it out, I recommend checking out Photoprism. It was the first app I ever self-hosted using Docker and I haven’t needed to change my config because of breaking changes yet.

          Does photoprism support multiple users yet? That was what drove me to immich. But I also don’t love the frequency of breaking changes.

          Trying to upload high resolution photos (like the 200mp photos taken with my s23 ultra) completely crashes photoprism for me until I stop the docker container and manually delete the images. That makes it unusable for me

          I did use it in the past! I should check it again. I didn’t like how the multi user was planned (basically independent instances), but was long enough things might have changed.

            If you need/want a robust multi-user experience, specifically with private personal library support, then Photoprism isn’t going to work, unfortunately.

            • Free:
              • You can create multiple Admin users in the free version, but they all can see and delete everything (unless you don’t give Photoprism delete access)
            • Paid (Essentials or Plus)
              • you can create “User” users who can upload photos - but they still have access to your full library
              • you can create “Viewer” users who can’t see private photos (but they also can’t upload photos).
              • you can share links to albums that are viewable by anyone with the link

            I’ve been using it single user and it’s been great, though I should add the caveat that I upload my photos to my server using Photosync and don’t give Photoprism write/delete access to my library, so no uploads come from it. I had been using Photosync for years before even hearing about Photoprism so it just fit very neatly into my existing process.

            Multi user features are effectively paywalled and not technically FOSS due to not allowing commercial use, but roles are documented at https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/users/roles/ and there’s more info at https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/users/libraries/

            If Photoprism Plus/Essentials features could work for you, but the ongoing subscription is an issue, then you should know that - unless this has changed - you can sub for one month on Patreon or Github, use the info they provide to upgrade to using the Essentials or Plus features, and then cancel the subscription. I still have an ongoing one but I didn’t connect it to my Patreon account or anything so I don’t think anything would change (except for me no longer getting support, if I needed it) if I canceled it.

        I understand this, but that way you always read the update notes and you control what version you install. This can be a good practice.

        That stuff breaks is not so nice though.

        The 1.95 update was trivially easy to update with their instructions if you already have the skill to use docker compose.

          Good, once I can trivially not follow instructions between updates I’ll check it again.

          This is not a criticisms got immich, once they are in the stable phase I’ll try, just I don’t have the time to be checking the notes every update just in case.

          My stack is very large, I rather use sw that requires little to no micromanaging.
