  • I haven’t read the article so I can’t comment on it, but thinking that the solution is simply avoiding the services in question is not enough. It assumes that people know what the consequences to sign up are (most people probably don’t understand DRM) and it also assumes that there are better alternatives. Unfortunately, for the latter, I feel like there are fewer and fewer alternatives and the ones remaining are becoming increasingly niche. One may not be able to get a car which is self-repair friendly, independent on internet connectivity. So what does one do if one needs a car? Build one?

    I’m not saying it’s not true, but nowhere on that page is there the word donation. And if it is, the fact that it is described and a license, tied to a server or a user causes a lot of confusion to me, especially when combined with the fact that there is no paywall but that it requires registration.

    Why use the term license, server and user? Why not simply say donation and with the option of displaying the support by getting exclusive access to a badge like signal does?

    Again, I’m very happy immich is free, it is great software and it deserves support but this is just super confusing to me and the buy.immich.app link does not clarify things nor does that blog post.

    Edit: typo


  • Hi and thank you so much for the fantastic work on Immich! I’m hoping to get a chance to try it out soon, with the first stable release!

    One question on the financial support page: is it not a donation? There is a per server and a per user purchase, but I thought immich was exclusively self hosted, is it not? Or is this more like a way to say thanks while giving some hints as to how immich is being used privately? Or is there a way to actually pay to have immich host a server for one?

    Thanks for clarifying!
