Immich v3.0.0 Released

- Immich is a free, open-source self-hosted photo and video management platform often described as a "Google Photos alternative" that you run on your own server instead of trusting your data to a cloud provider. - It launched in 2022 and has grown rapidly in popularity among home-lab enthusiasts, Docker users, and privacy-minded people who want full ownership of their media. - Version 3.0.0 is a major milestone (the project uses a "zero-based" versioning scheme where 1.0.0 was the first stable release). This update brings significant UI/UX overhaul, a new mobile app built with Flutter, improved search with natural-language queries (e.g. "find photos from last Christmas"), and a new "shared links" feature for sending albums to non-Immich users. - Prior context: Immich was in "alpha/beta" for over a year before reaching v1.0.0 in late 2023. The core value proposition is that unlike Google Photos or iCloud, you control your data entirely — but that also means you must manage your own storage, backups, and server maintenance.
