Why I Quit Google Photos for This Cool Self-Hosted App!

So I accidentally stumbled upon #immich … and now #google Photos is just sitting in the corner, crying. In this video, I’ll walk you through self-hosting Immich — the open-source, privacy-first photo app that blew my mind. We're talking automatic photo uploads, slick UI, facial recognition (yes, it’s spooky smart), and full control over your memories… all without feeding the data beast! And get this — I’m running it on #proxmox, with Ubuntu and Docker Compose, because I enjoy pain… and also because I want full nerd cred. 🤓 So if you’re into self-hosting, digital privacy, or just tired of giving your baby photos to Silicon Valley — this one’s for you. Stick around for the setup, the features, and some questionable jokes about metadata. 🧠 Bonus: You’ll learn how not to break everything while trying to install it.
