Story behind Immich
Why Steve deployed Immich
Been in use for 3 months
Does what the tin says
Min of 2 CPUs and 4GB RAM

Official install is via docker compose
env file
Documentation is pretty good
Impressed by Immich's development and progress
Interface is great
Great for finding pictures
Global hotspot map
Tagging
Facial and object recognition
How Immich puts files on the file system
Metadata isn't shared between users
De-duplication and stacking
Partner Sharing
Highlights old photos
Feature rich compared to google and apple photos
Strong emphasis on privacy
Good mobile app
No E2EE
Wouldn't expose this to the Internet
Hasn't overcome muscle memory
Developer's don't consider it "production ready"
Backing up
Exit strategy
