If you have all of the photos, then you could use a tool like Immich Go, which would automate much of the tagging and album creation. I don't know if Immich Go accounts for metadata from Synology. However, Synology might be able to export everything.
I would also recommend putting Immich remote access behind Tailscale (I.e., pointing the remove access server to your tailnet and using that domain name and the Immich port to login).
Thank you! Can you ELI5, where is immich-go installed? On my new Immich server (unraid), on my Synology? On an intermediate device?
Madness it would be best to put Immich on my Synology for the transfer, then move to Unraid?
I'm trying to change 2 things - moving photos from Synology Photos to Immich and also moving the while operation from Synology to Unraid, but maybe it's a 2 step process?
Shouldn't matter, as long as the device running immich-go can access your photos (locally or over a network share) and the web api of your immich instance.
I don't see how this would be easier as it later adds an extra step, where you have to move immich from your Synology to Unraid. However, if you have to deal with a slow or unreliable network between those two hosts, it could make sense.
Yes, do yourself a favour and split these tasks. Migrate your photos to immich first, shut down Synology Photos and test that everything works as expected, then go on with your remaining migration to Unraid.
