Immich

What is it for?

Immich automatically backs up the photos and videos on your phone, with an interface very close to Google Photos: face recognition, search by content ("beach", "dog"), map, shared albums.

Who is it for?

Families who want their photos back from Google or iCloud.

Good to know

After installing

1. Right after installing, open the site and create the administrator account: until it exists, the first visitor can create it.
2. Install the Immich app on your phone and turn on automatic backup.

The docker-compose

Example behind Traefik. To adapt it (Nginx Proxy Manager, local port…) with a line-by-line explanation, use the generator (in French).
