I’m just trying out Immich and I’m really impressed, seems to be exactly what I’m looking for except for one thing. I am looking for something that is a central library for my family so we can all access the same photos and all upload to the same place.
It looks like users can see other users’ libraries but you lose the People functionality and perhaps a few other things.
What’s the best solution? I’m thinking of just creating a generic user and giving the details for everyone to use but it seems a shame to lose the user functionality of individual passwords etc.
Thanks for the reply! Basically, I don’t want us to have our own libraries. I have tons of family images which Immich face-recognises and I can merge them accordingly and set up albums etc. However, when I create another user, this user can only see the photos through the Sharing page and cannot see the Faces/People tagged by the recognition, it’s just a gallery of dated pictures. Presumably I will have the same experience for pictures they share.
What I want is for all users to be able to all the People (tagged by the facial recognition). With the way that sharing appears to work this wouldn’t be possible if my family members were individual users so I am wondering if the only way around this is to have just one generic user login which everyone uses, that way we all get to see the People through the Explore page and can see the map for all pictures that everyone uploads.
