Looks interesting, thanks for the rec!

Is there a way to semi-easily import my Google Photos archive?

Take a look into immich-go

+1 for it. Used it previously and just recently. Works like a charm!

You can use Google Takeout to request all of your Google photos to be downloaded

And don't forget to change the default file export size. The default is 2gb, which for me resulted in over 300 files to download and there's no easy to way to automate it. 50gb is max which was much better for me

I tried the larger file size, but my internet is slow and google kept pulling the plug on my download. Even with a download manager it was un-resumable. Finally, I just re-exported at 2 GB and now I have to babysit the download of 23 different files.

This blog post taught me how to download directly to my NAS using curl. https://michelenasti.com/from-google-photos-to-synology-photos/

Oh dang. The applicable parts of that would've saved me a lot of headache. Thanks for sharing.
