Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails). Since I no longer post there, I figured I would ask here, and include my prediction: Will be more popular, possibly in stable release. Still won't be able to rotate photos natively.

Just an idea: Maybe a simple photo editor would fit in nicely? Crop, rotate and adjust the colors/brightness/contrast.

And ... please let me rotate videos that are accidentally 90 degrees off.

I'm just learning about the software but all the tasks you listed (crop, rotate and adjust), can be done easily with imagemagick simple one-liners.

For example: Convert in.jpg -rotate out.jpg

Or

Using the auto-orient option or using jhead.

Why is it so hard for this app to implement it?

Former Immich dev here:

Even in the early days, we got hundreds of different feature requests that “can be done easily”. Even this example is a lot harder than you might think.

  • Since all clients work differently, this probably has to be done server-side, requires a new endpoint, caching logic, client support.
  • Immich supports a ton of file formats, the solution has to work with all of them.
  • We must not lose meta data, quality or alter the image in some other way, Immich is a backup tool, file integrity is a top priority.

If you have an idea, how to tackle all of this, contact the dev team on Discord, they’re really helpful and will surely guide you through the process of implementing.
