Fossify Calendar

How to use it with Baikal, I enabled CalDav but I can only see local and gmail calendars. Do I have to use DAVx5 ?

What clients would you recommend with it?

What clients do you use with it?

Why do you think Nextcloud would be too much for you?

I had the idea that I had to install the whole solution

I think that may be what you’re asking for

Yes, would be great if I have my day view. Problem is Nextcloud is way too much for my needs

I was thinking about that but I think Nextcloud is a bit too much for my needs

Ah yes that just downed on me today, I need to figure out how to only copy new items

I’m not sure how you’d automate deleting stuff while making sure you’re not deleting items that haven’t been sent yet

Yeah this will be very tricky, I’m thinking if I got over the initial push to Immich, I just delete manually from my phone when I see things have already moved to Immich and I don’t need it anymore.

Another good practice (at least I’d like to think so), my syncthing-int which sends everything to /photo_libraries also sends everything to two other backup folders that are pinned to separate discs. So if I have a drive failure or multiple drive failures I’d still have a copy of all the photos/albums.

I will do that to ensure I’ve backed everything up somewhere in case an Immich Failure.

Thank you so much, perfect explanation.

Do you keep the stuff on your phone then? how does syncthing handles deleting if you’re deleting? did you set up the folder as send only?

I’m working on setting it up for me to do so:

1. Manually move some pics on my phone to “Inbox” folder (To be sorted in albums later)
2. Syncthing will automatically sync “Inbox” and “Camera” folders to “Syncthing Consume”
3. A job to copy from “Syncthing Consume” to “Immich Consume”
4. Immich Go will move everything to Immich
5. Anything in the Inbox Album will get sorted to different albums at some point
6. Eventually anything that isn’t synced will be removed from my phone

I just noticed something else that is mildly annoying, after I move them to album I have to run the template migration job to move to the correct folder.

Can you tell me about the syncthing set up, how do you have the folders set up to sync?

for instance I have DCIM with folders inside it, do you sync the whole folder or for each folder inside it like “Camera, Screenshot” etc?

My problem is that external libraries are readonly

Thank you for the suggestion, they seem to be readonly, I was hoping I could delete/rename photos using them.

Although, it will try to upload all photos every time

I will use the argument which makes it delete after upload, this way if it wasn’t deleted then it wasn’t uploaded and needs to be uploaded, hopefully the CLI is smart to do so.

I want it to use the folder name as album name, I was hoping that it would do the same for nested folders

Thank you. First person to not advise me to use something other than immich for this. And thanks for the heads up about the CLI, can you share the upload script?

(except I manually sort through my photos on a semi-weekly basis before I upload it to Immich).

I think that would be a better approach if I weren’t very lazy, I think even after the initial run I could do that since I don’t take lots of pictures but I was thinking about a fire and forget sort of thing.

If you want, I can cook up a little Python script you could stick into Cron to do all the tasks you described.

Thank you so much, I asked ChatGPT and it generated the bat file below (since I’m using Windows) do you think this would work?

@echo off
REM Change directory to your photos folder
cd /d "C:\path\to\your\photos\folder"

REM Sync files to backup folder
robocopy . "C:\path\to\your\Camera_Backup" /mir /xo

REM Delete files older than 15 days
forfiles /p "C:\path\to\your\photos\folder" /s /m *.* /d -15 /c "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE del @file"

REM Upload assets using immich cli
immich upload "C:\path\to\your\Camera_Backup" -r -a --delete

can you recommend me something else?

Oh that might be perfect. I will look into it, thank you!
