I have recently installed ZimaOS on a barebone mini nas (Aoostar R1) and installed Immich using hte Appstore configuration. Since I struggled to using Immich-go (GitHub - simulot/immich-go: An alternative to the immich-CLI command that doesn't depend on nodejs installation. It tries its best for importing google photos takeout archives. ) to importo my Google Photos library due to the ZimaOs root folder being read only, I thought it’d be useful for someone else to know how I managed to get aroud this problem. (Immich-go wants to write a .cache folder inside /root but it cannot.
Simply connect to immich-server container (either via SSH or via terminal in container) and run the immich-go command from there Just cd into the container’s folder containin your google takeout zip files and then run something like this:
./immich-go -server http://{YOUR-SERVER-IP-AND-PORT} -key {YOUR-IMMICH-API-KEY} upload -google-photos takeout0*.zip
Obviously the folder must also contain the immich-go file
You can easily do that on Windows, use CMD on Google Takeout files by simply type CMD on the folder address bar.
Hi Richie,
I have a Debina Linux install and i installed Immich as a photo organizer. In that way i have all my photo’s in one place. But for me, there are some drawbacks using Immich.
The important one is the lack of making cascade albums. This way Immich make just a huge pile of photo’s with no structure. So i decided to go for Digikam with a mariadb. The mariadb is on ZimaOS and Digikam kan connect to the database. Also it is possible to use more instances of Digikam.
Digikam use the real folder structure on the nas, wich i already have and cal it a “Album”.
For me Digikam is awsome!
