Wasn’t it stable like a month ago?

Checking out the road map, nothings changed in a hot second. I think they're just trying to spread the word about it in general

What does the $100 server key unlock (besides "supporter status"), since features aren't paywalled?

[–] Unlearned9545@lemmy.world 95 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing. Just helps pay for development.

Oh, so... 100% worth every penny, then. Finally, a software cost with actual benefits.

Edit. It sounds sarcastic, but I'm being serious.

As we're committed not to add paywalls, this purchase will not grant you any additional features in Immich. We rely on users like you to support Immich's ongoing development.

I read that. (I literally mentioned features not being paywalled in the original comment.)

If the key doesn't unlock features, what does it unlock?

Do you get a little thank you message from the devs when you enter it in? Does it add a "Supporter" tag next to your name on the app settings?

The practice exists in both software and games of adding paid cosmetics (e.g. Discord or Deep Rock Galactic) that don't change the core featureset but allow users to pay more to support the developers, so I think it's a valid question.

You get a badge at the bottom left showing you’re a supporter.

does immich have an option to automatically delete older, backed-up pics from devices in order to free up space and not worry about running out disk space on smartphone?

I tried to search the docs and it seems it's missing

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I've not seen that option, but I use syncthing instead of the phone application to sync my photos to a specific folder on my NAS which is then an external library for Immich.

TBH, I don't want anything deleting anything automatically.

I'll often delete newer pictures of temporary stuff but keep older pictures of my frinds & family, so, that's not a feature I'd see any value in. It tends to just make me lazy and build up GBs of junk photos on my NAS (and backups...)

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 4 hours ago

That sounds like a great solution to my current frustration that the autobackup feature of Immich on iOS is so opaque. It only works when the app is open and even then oftentimes you're just staring at the backup screen while seemingly nothing is happening, despite Immich's backlog of thousands of photos still needing to be uploaded.

That video was… something…

Anyway I love Immich. It’s definitely been on a stable release for a bit, but I think they’re just trying to get the word out. A lot of people seem to think it’s still in alpha.

Personally, I’ve been running the same Immich server for years now, rolling all the way up to the current release and I’ve never had any data loss. I just had to read the patch notes and adjust my docker compose accordingly a couple times.

It’s well worth paying for that supporter badge, btw. I’ve easily gotten more than $100 value out of it.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

It really was!

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

It still doesn't do chunked uploads, right? For who has a low memory proxy or uses cloudflare
