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?
Hmm theoretically, you could spin up a second Immich and mount the folders in there as external libraries with write permissions 🤔
This is just an idea which came to mind reading your post. But I would assume that messes with the metadata stored in your primary Immich instance or rather its DB. So probably not the best idea in hindsight. Also even easier approach to achieve this would be using a simple imager viewer tool directly on the filesystem 😅
