Couch potato is still working ? Looking at the official GitHub page, hasn't been touched since 2015. Or is there a modern fork ?

When dev stopped etc - and around the same time as all the sickchill/sickrage forkings drama.  I switched to sonar/radar

Handle9: I’ve got Immich running and moved all my photos out of Google Photos and into it. It’s a pretty damn nice alternative.

It’ll be nice to cut the cord with 200GB of storage on Google photos.

The whole library is backed up to backblaze so we preserve an offsite backup.

 

I am running PhotoPrism and it is decent, but doesn't look as polished as Immich. Have you tried other self-hosted photo managers other than Immich?

Finally got around to spinning up Immich on my docker swarm. Wow, what an impressive bit of software. PhotoPrism is gone!

I like the way it will merge my external library of photos with photos taken on my phone. It is seamless, and all the facial/object recognition is incredible - the smart search is very impressive.

I recently set up a public facing Wordpress website on my Raspberry Pi using Cloudflare Tunnel, Wordpress on docker, Nginx on docker. It took a bit of time to get everything lined up but it wasn't difficult.
