I finally upgraded from 0.3.5.1 to the latest version following this guide [Update to StartOS 0.4.0 - StartOS](https://docs.start9.com/start-os/0.4.0.x/update-040.html)

Step 9 after the upgrade says “Every installed service will have an update available for the 0.4.0 marketplace.” That is true for every other of my installed services, but I didn’t find Photoview.

Was it removed for Immich? If so, how do I connect it to my File Browser data and am I able to access them via Tor Browser, like I used to for Photoview? Is there a guide out to migrate?

Thanks a lot!

This was abandoned by its developers some 4 years ago, it was then picked up by volunteers 2 years ago, who immediately abandoned it again. We typically don’t package and list abandoned projects on our registries, but anyone is free to package it them and run them.

Immich is something I would highly recommend, it’s a whole other level. You can simply install it, create a user, then from the StartOS actions you add your photos folder as an external library.

What do i put in “folder path”, if I want every File Browser folder to be available? I’m not seeing any files in Immich, even if I refresh the external data. I tried “files”, “photos” and “srv”.
