Thrid party tool for rule-based smart albums

[kvalev]

I created a tool for automatically creating and updating rule-based smart albums, one of the most requested Immich features #1673.

You can find all the code and documentation in this repository https://github.com/kvalev/immich-dynamic-albums

The TL;DR is to create a config file containing one or more albums and their respective rules:

[
    {
        "name": "Best of Egypt 2021",
        "query": {
            "country": "Egypt",
            "favorite": true,
            "timespan": {
                "start": "2021-05-01",
                "end": "2021-05-10"
            }
        }
    }
]

And then mount it in the provided docker container and it will periodically query Immich for matching assets and keep those albums up-to-date:

    immich-dynamic-albums:
        image: ghcr.io/kvalev/immich-dynamic-albums:latest
        restart: unless-stopped
        volumes:
            - PATH_TO_CONFIG_JSON_FILE:/config/dynamic-albums.json:ro
        environment:
            IMMICH_URL: http://immich_server:2283/
            IMMICH_API_KEY: API_KEY
            CONFIG_FILE: /config/dynamic-albums.json
            SCHEDULE_INTERVAL: 1440 # 1440 minutes, meaning once per day
            PYTHONUNBUFFERED: True # ensure stdout is flushed on every print
        depends_on:
            immich-server:
                condition: service_healthy
