Every birthday, holiday, and blurry photograph of a meal you wanted to remember is funnelled, by default, into a cloud service owned by a company whose business is understanding you. Google Photos is genuinely excellent software, but the price of that convenience is handing over an intimate, decades-long record of where you have been, who you know, and what your life looks like. There is now a credible way to keep all of that magic while moving the storage onto a server you control. It is called Immich, and this guide walks through standing it up on a Linux box and pointing your phone at it instead of the cloud.</p>Sat, 25 Apr 2026 08:30:00 +0000
