gPhotos2Immich syncs Google Photos shared albums to Immich on a schedule, without any Google API key: it reads public shared-album links, downloads full-quality photos and videos with their taken dates and skips items already uploaded. The web UI shows live logs and has a Sync Now button; a sync can also be triggered with POST /api/sync (e.g. from Home Assistant). First launch: create config.json (see Requires), open the WebUI, enter the Immich API URL (e.g. http://192.168.1.10:2283/api) and an Immich API key with the asset.read, asset.upload, album.create, album.read, album.update, albumAsset.create and user.read permissions (or All), then add your shared album links. Changes apply without a restart. Only public shared links work: check that the album opens in a private browser window. The web UI has no password: never expose its port to the internet.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

No. It reads public shared-album links and only requires that the album is publicly accessible, so check that it opens in a private browser window.

What permissions should the Immich API key have?

Use an API key with asset.read, asset.upload, album.create, album.read, album.update, albumAsset.create and user.read, or All.

How can I trigger a sync from Home Assistant?

Send a POST request to the sync endpoint. The Web UI also has a Sync Now button and shows live logs.

Will gPhotos2Immich download media that is already in Immich?

No. It skips items that have already been uploaded.

Do I need to restart the app after changing settings?

No. Changes apply without a restart.
