I have a family immich instance self-hosted. All pics from my kids devices are auto-uploaded on our instance. This is nice, but also updates a lot of photos and videos of they kidding and joking, ando lot of repeated stuff. Immich only allows that I exclude my own stuff, and it’s really boring have to login with each account to exclude my kids stuff. Is there anyway that I can manage and exclude photos and videos of other users?
Long-time immich user here, similar problem. The issue (for now) is that only the owner of the media has write access. With partner sharing, all you can do is read the media (and add them to albums).
What I do for now with “trash media” (e.g. photos of receipts and other stuff that one snaps pics of for practical reasons and then forgets): I add my partner’s trash to an album named “please delete”. I periodically ask them to go through it and remove anything they want to keep, then have them select and delete everything in that album in batch.
Why this may not be practical for you, OP: you have two “trash producers”, so you’d have to keep a “trash” album for each of them (and sort trash media correctly). This is tedious work and error-prone: if you have only one pic in you “trash” album that your account does not own, selecting and deleting everything will fail, sending you on a hunt for the one misclassified picture in a batch of >200…
What immich may do about this in the future, as according to their roadmap: in the past, they were planning to add “more granular permissions controls”. Right now, they’ve renamed that to
I hope this will include permissions management as well.
Wither way, the feature is likely to come with a greater overhaul of partner sharing. Partner sharing, as of now, is partly “broken” due to past design decisions: you can’t
And before anybody asks: no, there’s no ETA…
I am sure you can automate that using api keys.
Care to specify what you mean by “that”? It’s been a lot.
Just the 2nd paragraph.
