Photoprism to Immich migrator

This tool can migrate albums and favorites from Photoprism to Immich. It does not migrate your photo files.

Prerequisites

  1. The tool will only work if you keep the same file structure in immich that you already had in photoprism. This is the case if you take the originals folder from photoprism and use it in immich as external library.
  2. Photoprism and Immich must both be running at the same time, because the tool communicates with both APIs.

How it works

ppim-migrator-diagram

Migrate favorites

  1. The tool fetches all photos with a favorite tag from your photoprism instance
  2. For each photo, it retrieves the original filename and its respective path
  3. It connects to immich, tries to find the photo by filename and validates potential candidates on the immich side by comparing the file path
  4. If a match was found, it marks the photo on immich as favorite

Migrate album

  1. The tool fetches all photos of a certain album from your photoprism instance
  2. For each photo, it retrieves the original filename and its respective path
  3. It connects to immich, tries to find the photo by filename and validates potential candidates on the immich side by comparing the file path
  4. If a match was found, it creates a new album in immich and adds the matched photos

Migrate all albums

  1. The tool fetches all albums from your photoprism instance (1000 albums by default)
  2. For each album found, the migration is launched as described per the previous paragraph.

Installation

pip install ppim-migrator

Configuration

Create a config.yaml file in the working directory where you want to run the command.

photoprism:
  base_url: https://photoprism.example.com
  username: 
  password: 
immich:
  base_url: https://immich.example.com
  api_key:

Notes:

  • The PhotoPrism account must not have two factor authentication enabled
  • base_url must not end with a slash

Usage

Migrate all favorites from photoprism to immich

python -m ppim-migrator migrate-favorites

Migrate a certain album from photoprism to immich

To get an album-id just open the album in photoprism. The id is part of the url. Example:

  • Url, when opening the album: https://photoprism.example.com/library/albums/aqrcixa2uf1q45iq/view The album-id would be aqrcixa2uf1q45iq
python -m ppim-migrator migrate-album <album-id-here>

Migrate all albums from photoprism to immich

python -m ppim-migrator migrate-all-albums

You can overwrite the default 1000 albums cap, by adding a --count= option:

python -m ppim-migrator migrate-all-albums --count=5000

Migrate JPG+RAW stacks from photoprism to immich

Since Immich does not support auto stacking yet, these stacks can be migrated over from photoprism.

python -m ppim-migrator migrate-stacked-raws

You can overwrite the default 100000 photos cap, by adding a --count= option:

python -m ppim-migrator migrate-stacked-raws --count=200000
