Highlights
Welcome to the first Immich release of 2024, v1.92.0. This release is packed with features, bug fixes, and improvements. Let’s dive into some of the highlights of this release.
[BREAKING CHANGE] The welcome message for your instance is now moved to the Server Setting in the Settings section in the Administration page on the web
Hardening storage template move operation: verify files are copied correctly when operating across filesystem boundaries
External domain setting: allow the usage of a different domain for shared links
Native hash calculation on iOS: significantly speeds up the initial hash calculation
Introduce Onboarding flow for new instances: Show the admin common settings of the instance for a better user experience.
CLI version 2.0.6 was released on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@immich/cli
Search is now working across the partner’s assets.
For all who have no clue what it’s for (like me 5 minutes ago), it’s a “self-hosted photo and video backup solution”.
It’s really amazing, it’s a drop in replacement for Google Photos and the like with good mobile apps, face/object recognition, etc.
I usually interpret the phrase “drop in” to mean that the replacement being referenced will also work with everything written for the original. Does “drop in” in this case mean that Immich will transparently replace Google Photos, similar to how libretube replaces YouTube? That would be amazing!
“Drop in” as in “You can drop this in your Home Screen where Google Photos used to be and notice very little functional difference.”
That’s not what drop in means…
