  1. Different machine learning settings would be an interesting topic to get more information on. I’ve only used default one and hope they have or update one with better animal detection. The default one works barely like 10-20% of time. As I know I have thousands of pictures and videos of our dog during the years it would help a lot when trying to find those specific ones 😅

  2. If only Immich had LDAP support, and "free up space" option on the client side (like in Google Photos), it would be my (and my relatives') ultimate go-to software solution for pictures.

    Sadly I yet to find any self-hosted solution to implement the so-called "free up space" thing. I use Nextcloud Memories because of LDAP support, but it can be really slow.

  3. Interesting stuff. Any thoughts on the best approach to do a "google takeout"-like thing with Nextcloud. Basically, I'm wondering how to give Immich a try with my existing photos in Nextcloud.

  4. Have you thought about making a Quick Tips video on thumbnails?
    Something I noticed when storing my photos and videos on Nextcloud was that the thumbnails would take forever to load, especially when accessing them from the phone. The main reason for this was because Nextcloud generates thumbnails on the go by default, and you have to run a console command to force it to generate previews for all photos. The other reason they were slow to load is because Nextcloud stored thumbnails in the Nextcloud share by default, which allocates data to the Unraid array (which uses hard disks). With a large photo library comes a large amount of small thumbnails that you will want optimized for fast reads and minimal latency so your library loads quickly while you browse through it. think it makes sense to allocate them to an SSD, or a pool made up of SSDs(zfs for optimal performance).

    For Nextcloud, it is a matter of editing Nextcloud's Docker Template to point the thumbnail path to a share that uses SSDs.
    For Immich, I notice a thumbnail directory gets created within the /photos path. Perhaps you just map that to a share using SSDs?
