Figured I’d ask here as thought self-hosters would care most about looking after their photos.
What do you do with friends’ photos you’d like to keep hold of? Maybe there’s a pic on a chat app or they’ve sent you a link to an album on google photos.
Would you just throw into your own pile of photos or do you carefully adjust metadata to indicate who took them? Just use dirs to separate them from your own? Interested in any and all thoughts.
Your friends should know that you can see their photos if you wanted to though.
Same is true if they save stuff at Google etc. who every owns the server can see their media.
Unless it has E2E encryption
Well yes, if you want a decent search function, duplicate detection, etc., then E2E is just not feasible.
Immich developers confirmed they will never implement it, as it breaks too many features of Immich.
Well… E2E is still feasible, that’s your VPN for example.
Encryption at rest is where de-dupe, search, etc, can break.
