Should I switch from Synology Photos to Immich? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] puck2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I decided to stick with Synology. Too many moving parts and it's writing for me right now.

Today I started my self hosting journey in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Sounds great. How does Zima compare to Synology?

So now I'm running Synology, Unraid, Homeassistant (Rasppi), and Raspiblitz (BTC node) (lemmy.world)
 

Synology is for work files, photos, Unifi, and a few other misc items. Right now Unraid is just for Jellyfin w/ Tailscale access. Homeassistnat literally just runs a dashboard and a few lights + plugs but I mostly went back to wyze for that. Raspiblitz is for bitcoin node and lightning.

Sometimes I think I should consolidate but it's a daunting idea so for now I'm running them all.

So you have duplicate data or they are reading the same data?

Synology is not a subscription, and comes w/ Synology device. It is fine but is missing some features. Moving is a bear though so maybe I should make sure it's really worth it.

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?

I have spent a long time at Synology Photos, along with my family. We have tags and albums. Is there a good way to migrate? I'm even open to migrating manually (album by album) if I could trust the process.
