With works for me on Android with Pixel phone, after I added Immich to the list of apps that can work in the background.
But as you can see in the linked release note, they made a lot of change to background sync on Android and iOS. It should (TM) work out of the box now.
> Also, anyone know if I can get immich to upload the photos without... Running immich once in a while? Would be great if it just automatically sent them to "my cloud".
See the release note that this HN thread links to ;-)
>>> Background backup improvements
Background backup on Android is now significantly more reliable. Previously, the background backup on Android was limited to newly taken photos. Now, the app uses a new periodic task scheduler, which allows you to upload your entire library in the background, and it plays nicer with Android's background execution limits, properly cleans up tasks, and warns you when battery optimization and notification settings might interfere with backups.
On iOS, the background refresh task now runs its sync and upload work in parallel, so uploads actually start within the short time window iOS allows.

Well we are on HACKER news ;-) To mess around and learn something would be one reason. Maybe you already have the hardware. Why selfhost anything if cloud does the thing?
An other reason would be because your company does not allow any source code leaks and thus every developer either has local models or none.
6 T/second local model while your colleagues have 200 EUR/month claude does not make much sense. At least I can't see a use case.
