Been using it for about 7 months.
After about 2 months I decided to completely move away from Google Photos and now I only use Immich.
This was a big move for me. I have over 90 000 photos and 1000 videos totalling over 200GB.
The performance is great even on spinning rust, though I am running it on a Ryzen 2700X and 32GB RAM. That said it’s only when the machine learning background tasks take off that that CPU horsepower is used. You really don’t need that much. The recommended specs are fairly small.
Since I first installed it, they’ve added an auto-OCR feature which is a godsend. I can search my entire library for text on a screenshot and it works really well.
Weirdly, the missing feature that really pissed me off on Google Photos and got me to move over was the lack of the ability to search for images not currently in any album. The search functionality is much better on Immich.
I think the only feature I’m missing from Google Photos is the non-destructive editor, and that’s coming real soon (the PR is already merged as of last week).
Sorting in Immich needs a lot of work still. The main thing I’m still missing from Google Photos is being able to manually sort images in an album.
The ocr and find similar images has been amazing for me.
