    The only problem I can see is that the rail and gears for the blinds that mounts to the ceiling usually has metal parts which will rust from steam and eventually make it difficult to open and close the blinds. You may be able to coat it in water resistant paint to overcome this. Though it might grow mold in the housing too so you’ll have to clean it occasionally








  • And you need a central online API to validate the token, like oauth, which means any system using it needs to be connected to the Internet, and that API needs to be very reliable, kept up-to-date, and DDOS resistant.

    Or require the user to enter a PIN like with x509 certs, but then you also need a way for people to reset their PIN when it gets forgotten or compromised which means a huge bureaucratic burden and expense. And between the time of needing a reset and getting it, you’ll be unable to access any services requiring your ID token which will almost definitely cause some people from making payments (if banks change to requiring a digital ID token) and who knows what else.

    There will also be a requirement for hooking this death records in order to disable people’s tokens when they die to prevent identity theft. That’s going to require cooperation from private corporations (hospitals) and the government. I get that this is already done to an extent, but there are likely other processes like this that need to be established for this system to work and it’s not trivial.



  • I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now. I am happy with it, but also annoyed by some obvious bugs. For example, I cannot find the Faces/People page on browser but is easy on the app. I have also only been able to merge faces once, even though this feature supposedly exists. Maybe there is some limitation to merging that is not clearly disclosed to the user. And I was disappointed that there’s no way to manually tag a person to their Face profile in an image.

    I also think the sharing capabilities could be improved. Even if I share an album and make another user an editor, they still don’t have full permissions to it. For example, they cannot change the name of the album, or set a cover photo, and there is some weird unspecified limitation with creating a shared link of a photo that you didn’t upload yourself.

    I also wish it had multi-part uploading because I have it routed through cloudflare tunnel for security and convenience, but that puts a 100MB limit on file transfers which multi-part uploads could work around.

    Error messages could be more verbose. When an upload fails it just says Error. It took me digging through network messages to figure out that I was hitting that Cloudflare rate limiting error (the error message from CF was perfectly clear).

    And I also have Keycloak set up with it for user accounts. That wasn’t too difficult (I am very familiar with Keycloak from work) but Immich doesn’t appear to have any settings available to utilize roles over oauth to customize user permissions in their app. For example, I would like to default new users to be only able to view but not upload photos until they get a certain role that can enable uploads. Because of this, I have to more closely guard the user registration page which is just extra work for me.

    I got a notification recently that there was a new version available, so I tried updating. I’m using the image with the “latest” tag so I assumed just restarting the container would put it on the new version but it didn’t. So now I assume some version flag os saved in the mounted volume and I assume there is somewhere in the admin UI to tell it to update, but I haven’t been able to find it. This one is probably user error but I’m surprised and frustrated that I was unable to find help with this from a Google search.

    Like I said, I’m happy with its capabilities but there is still a lot of polish missing. I understand what one of the other commenters meant when they said it’s still in early development. I am hoping these types of issues I’ve experienced will be ironed out in the future. I also understand that I could make a PR to fix these things myself, and I like the fact that that’s an option. I will probably contribute to the project when I have more free time. They’ve done great work so far.
