[Immich] What is the "proper" way to navigate migration from another service (all photos are already on the server) (feddit.nl)

I got immich with SSO up and running. It runs like a dream compared to Photoprism and is simple enough for me, but also has necessary features like user accounts.

There is one thing I couldn't find in the docs:

I already have a library of 5000 photos and 150 videos on my server that sync to my phone with Syncthing to 4 different directories (one for each phone I took the photos on) in Immich. Right now I have that directory as an external library, but I don't think this is the "right way."

My goal:

  • No duplicates between phone app and desktop app
  • Don't have to re-upload every image from my phone as my network is 100/30 mbps
  • Am able to manage my photos from the Immich app and web app (deleting photos that will propagate between devices)

Can I just map the "Upload" folder to that syncthing photo base folder and get parity between my phone and my server? Or do I have to re-upload everything from my phone? Or am I waiting for a feature that doesn't quite exist yet? I noticed some feature discussions about photo hashing and de-duplication.

I tried asking in a discussion on the repo, but nobody answers those much.

Is your immich server in a different network? But your photos are already on that server, right?

[–] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Runs through my reverse proxy, so technically yes? The photos are indeed on the server through syncthing

Reverse proxy can mean different things in different contexts. What kind are we talking?

Right now, most services are running via traefik with authelia over it. I haven't done the work of making traefik able to route from local ip addresses without the hostname and I have no idea if my ISP router does NAT hairpinning.

Some services I have only or also local without traefik or authelia, depending on the service.

In this case immich is running completely through the reverse proxy, through a cloudflare proxy with whitelisted IPs.
