  • I’m not sure how you’d automate deleting stuff while making sure you’re not deleting items that haven’t been sent yet

    Yeah this will be very tricky, I’m thinking if I got over the initial push to Immich, I just delete manually from my phone when I see things have already moved to Immich and I don’t need it anymore.

    Another good practice (at least I’d like to think so), my syncthing-int which sends everything to /photo_libraries also sends everything to two other backup folders that are pinned to separate discs. So if I have a drive failure or multiple drive failures I’d still have a copy of all the photos/albums.

    I will do that to ensure I’ve backed everything up somewhere in case an Immich Failure.


  • Thank you so much, perfect explanation.

    Do you keep the stuff on your phone then? how does syncthing handles deleting if you’re deleting? did you set up the folder as send only?

    I’m working on setting it up for me to do so:

    1. Manually move some pics on my phone to “Inbox” folder (To be sorted in albums later)
    2. Syncthing will automatically sync “Inbox” and “Camera” folders to “Syncthing Consume”
    3. A job to copy from “Syncthing Consume” to “Immich Consume”
    4. Immich Go will move everything to Immich
    5. Anything in the Inbox Album will get sorted to different albums at some point
    6. Eventually anything that isn’t synced will be removed from my phone
