Mir,

I was thinking about that but I think Nextcloud is a bit too much for my needs

Mir,

I think that may be what you’re asking for

Yes, would be great if I have my day view. Problem is Nextcloud is way too much for my needs

Mir,

Why do you think Nextcloud would be too much for you?

I had the idea that I had to install the whole solution

Mir,

What clients do you use with it?

Mir,

What clients would you recommend with it?

Mir, (edited )

Fossify Calendar

How to use it with Baikal, I enabled CalDav but I can only see local and gmail calendars. Do I have to use DAVx5 ?

Mir,

I don’t want to manually upload pictures, I want new photos to be uploaded to Immich automatically and deleted from my phone after 30 days.

Also the Immich backup on android is very limited, I can’t find all folders in the list it’s giving me

Mir,

I want to use immich mostly for viewing

Mir,

More or less yes. Except that the auto upload is limited I can’t figure out why most of albums aren’t showing

Mir,

I will make sure that this doesn’t exist first before requesting a feature, thanks for the tip

Mir,

Oh that might be perfect. I will look into it, thank you!

Mir,

can you recommend me something else?

Mir,

(except I manually sort through my photos on a semi-weekly basis before I upload it to Immich).

I think that would be a better approach if I weren’t very lazy, I think even after the initial run I could do that since I don’t take lots of pictures but I was thinking about a fire and forget sort of thing.

If you want, I can cook up a little Python script you could stick into Cron to do all the tasks you described.

Thank you so much, I asked ChatGPT and it generated the bat file below (since I’m using Windows) do you think this would work?

Mir,

Thank you. First person to not advise me to use something other than immich for this. And thanks for the heads up about the CLI, can you share the upload script?

Mir,

Although, it will try to upload all photos every time

I will use the argument which makes it delete after upload, this way if it wasn’t deleted then it wasn’t uploaded and needs to be uploaded, hopefully the CLI is smart to do so.

I want it to use the folder name as album name, I was hoping that it would do the same for nested folders

Mir,

Thank you for the suggestion, they seem to be readonly, I was hoping I could delete/rename photos using them.

Mir,

My problem is that external libraries are readonly

Mir,

Can you tell me about the syncthing set up, how do you have the folders set up to sync?

for instance I have DCIM with folders inside it, do you sync the whole folder or for each folder inside it like “Camera, Screenshot” etc?

Mir,

I just noticed something else that is mildly annoying, after I move them to album I have to run the template migration job to move to the correct folder.

Mir,

Thank you so much, perfect explanation.

Do you keep the stuff on your phone then? how does syncthing handles deleting if you’re deleting? did you set up the folder as send only?

I’m working on setting it up for me to do so:

  1. Manually move some pics on my phone to “Inbox” folder (To be sorted in albums later)
  2. Syncthing will automatically sync “Inbox” and “Camera” folders to "Syncthing Consume"
  3. A job to copy from “Syncthing Consume” to "Immich Consume"
  4. Immich Go will move everything to Immich
  5. Anything in the Inbox Album will get sorted to different albums at some point
  6. Eventually anything that isn’t synced will be removed from my phone
Mir, (edited )

I’m not sure how you’d automate deleting stuff while making sure you’re not deleting items that haven’t been sent yet

Yeah this will be very tricky, I’m thinking if I got over the initial push to Immich, I just delete manually from my phone when I see things have already moved to Immich and I don’t need it anymore.

Another good practice (at least I’d like to think so), my syncthing-int which sends everything to /photo_libraries also sends everything to two other backup folders that are pinned to separate discs. So if I have a drive failure or multiple drive failures I’d still have a copy of all the photos/albums.

I will do that to ensure I’ve backed everything up somewhere in case an Immich Failure.

Mir,

Ah yes that just downed on me today, I need to figure out how to only copy new items

Mir,

I managed to get it to work finally, I disabled these Cache Assets, Block Common Exploits, Websockets Support.
