- Just make sure you back things up. It’s likely some update will break things.
  
  Break how? As in the photos aren't organized, or we just nuked your entire library?
Can't wait for the stable release next year.
- Why? No breaking changes or something else in particular?
  
  Mainly no breaking changes. In the past I had to manually fix it on my server a few times.
- I'm confused. This says it's version 1.122 - are they going to reset to 1.0?
  
  I meant the first stabile release, my bad.
I'm thinking about self hosting my photo library, do I have to keep it up-to-date constantly to keep compatibility with the android app?
- Nope, they recommend against updating without carefully studying the changelog
- Just don't let it go too stale, I recommend updating it a few days or a week after a release gets made, since sometimes there are patches for important stuff released the next day or so after a minor one. That being said what I do is I have an RSS feed for their releases so I get a notification when a new release has been made and can check the changelog for important information, most of the times it's just bumping the version on the .env file.
  
  Could I automate the upgrades?
  With good backups, rollbacks in case of issues should be trivial.
- The app will complain if the server has an incompatible version. Have had it happen a few times, but usually two or three minor versions difference should be okay.
Is there support for HDR photos though? Last time I checked there wasn't, is it time to switch?
When will they add chunking, though...
- Chunking and the ability to rotate an image. I guess those features aren’t sexy.
  
  If you don't mind me asking. What is chunking?
- Yup it should run fine since its a docker stack, synology supports docker.
  
  I'm running it on a DS918+ right now. I copied-pasted their docker-compose file and had it up in half an hour or so.
