One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.

How does it compare to Photoprism? Been on that solution for a while and I really like it, but have seen lots of people suggest Immich as well.

I used Photoprism years ago, so my knowledge is probably pretty outdated.

My experience of Photoprism was that mobile was not tightly integrated. At the time I used Syncthing to sync photos


it worked ok for me, but I wasn't going to set it up on my partner's phone, for example.

Immich Just Works on both mobile and desktop. Multi user is great, sharing is great, and the local ML and face detection work remarkably well.

Whatever works for you is the best of course! Immich fits the bill for me, and it was very much worth it for me to "buy" it.
