I have spent a long time at Synology Photos, along with my family. We have tags and albums. Is there a good way to migrate? I’m even open to migrating manually (album by album) if I could trust the process.

    Moving should be fairly simple really.

    Make a docker container and point Immich to the photo directory.

    If I’m not mistaken, Immich copies the photos and sorts them, so you should be able to run both setups simultaneously without touching the Synology setup.

      Some Synology devices aren’t capable of dealing with docker containers. Just to keep that in mind.
