I used to use VSCodium (pretty much just VSCode without the closed source binaries and telemetry) but now I completely use Helix and Zellij.

It did take quite a while for Immich to process everything when I initially uploaded my library, how long has it been since the initial upload?

Kind of, you can share individual albums so it is possible to share all but one. This may or may not be practical though depending on your album structure.

Another option is to share your entire library but archive the photos you don’t want to be seen.

It would be good of there was an official feature for this but these are currently the two best options.

My only advice would be to go full NextCloud at first for simplicity instead of trying to integrate it with other services.

That being said, if later on you’re looking for a way to store images I’d highly recommend Immich, I just finished setting up my own hosting setup a few days ago and it is gorgeous.

Here in Scotland tourists are always fascinated when we talk about the wild haggis running around.

I always take out those paper ads that are attached to the top of the seat if front and turn them around so I’m not staring at them for a 5 hour flight.

In my experience combining multiple languages usually creates more complexity and is slower than each of them individually because you need to convert the data structures of one language into those of another. Both of them are great languages and I’ve made web services in both so whatever one you pick will be a good choice.

As for which one to pick, although Rust is my favorite language, if you don’t know it it’ll take a while to learn. So for this project I’d say to go with Go because it’s simpler and you really won’t notice a performance difference unless you’ve got a huge amount of traffic.
