This chapter explores Immich, a photo management program with a powerful smart search function. The discussion covers its setup, functionality, including the use of machine learning and remote processing, and limitations regarding sharing and compatibility with various storage solutions.
Immich utilizes machine learning for smart search capabilities, even on NAS devices with slower CPUs.
It supports remote processing via a PC with a dedicated graphics card, enabling faster indexing and searching.
Sharing functionality is currently limited and requires individual indexing for each user.
Setup requires some technical knowledge, particularly familiarity with Docker.
