I would like new images to be uploaded to Immich from my phone and deleted after 30 days automatically, so I was thinking about this flow:

  1. I will Sync files to the server using Syncthing

  2. I will Copy files from the Synced folder to an Immich Consume folder, (not sure how to copy only new files (maybe use created date)). Then delete images that are older than 30 days which will remove them from my phone.

  3. I will upload to Immich using Immich CLI (?) which will use the delete after upload flag.

Basically:  

(1)

Camera, Screenshots, etc =Syncthing=> SyncthingImageConsume/{Folder}

(2)

{Script on SyncthingImageConsume}

SyncthingImageConsume/{Folder} =CopyNewFiles=> ImmichConsume/{Folder}

Then delete older than 30 days.

(3)

{Script on ImmichConsume}

Upload to immich and then delete

 

would this work? and is there a better way to do it? any tips?

    Why not file a bug report when it does not find all your photos?

    Also may file a feature request to delete photos after set period from your device via immich?

      I will make sure that this doesn’t exist first before requesting a feature, thanks for the tip
