A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Welcome to version v1.109.0 of Immich. This release introduces an additional way for you to support Immich financially as well as bug fixes for various issues. Some of the highlights in this release include:

Immich license pricing is $25 per user or $99 per server for a lifetime license.

… at which point we could still fork the project from before the license change and continue on our merry way.

If you expect ongoing maintenance, are you saying you feel entitled to the devs’ continuing work in perpetuity, and at no cost? Because that’s called slavery and we have laws against it.

Stop putting words in my mouth.

I’m just trying to understand what you’re upset about. Immich is released under one of the most user-protecting licenses out there, without a CLA, and every communication from everyone on the dev team has emphatically committed to keeping it that way. You’re over here saying “yeah but they might change it some day” and sure, maybe, but it would be a gigantic pain in the ass, there’s no indication they plan to do so, and you could say the same thing about literally any other open source project. And even if they did change it, we’d still have the most recent GPL version to fork! What more could you possibly want? All that’s left is a guarantee of ongoing maintenance, which I’m sorry but you are not entitled to that.

Edit: and the best way to ensure ongoing maintenance is to fund the project. Devs gotta eat.
