Immich
Immich supports image uploads from a phone?
Yes
Yes.
It can also sync across the internet if you have it set up appropriately.
Very neat and they have recently implemented (chrome) casting capability into the app.
This is the way
How can I sync all my photos locally to a new phone / device? Last I tried it, I had to sync one picture at a time
Do a one-time copy of your photos using SFTP or FolderSync or whatever works for you.
I wouldnt use immich like that.
You backup your images to immich.
Once there, you keep them there primarily and stream what you need (redownloading like it works on Google photos doesnt work like that as it stores the pictures in it's own folder).
At least that's how I use it.
Hm ok. I prefer to have a complete set of pictures on the phone in case the server goes to shit, as a third backup
I think I will stick to syncthing
In theory you can do that.
It just doesnt redownload to (usually) DCIM.
But say you upload your DCIM folder to immich, they are both on-device and on your server.
Until you delete them on the phone.
In my case, I got a new phone and expected I could use Immich to reupload all the images to the new phone. But that didn't seem the case. With syncthing, it was easy.
But you lose the other benefits of immich when using syncthing, like sharing. the gallery app on my phone does a lot of the other things like faces, map ..
Yeah in that use case syncthing fits more than immich.
In theory you probably could use immich.
During a phone replacement you pause immich sync, use syncthing to transfer the pictures and then enable immich sync again.
I believe immich should be able to detect those "new" pictures as duplicates and not upload it again.
I plan to use immich just what’s the difference between latest and next on their site? Is next the like beta testing?
