#### High-performance desktop sync client for Immich

Lymic is a fast, lightweight desktop synchronization client built specifically
for self-hosted Immich media servers. It automatically discovers, monitors,
and uploads photos and videos from your local folders and removable storage
volumes directly to your personal Immich instance.

Key Features:

* Watched Folders: Configure multiple local directories and external drives to continuously monitor for new or updated media assets.
* Removable Media Detection: Automatically detects connected SD cards and external drives, synchronizing media seamlessly when plugged in.
* Live Photo Support: Reliably pairs and uploads still photos and companion video clips together as unified Live Photos.
* Flexible Album Assignment: Map specific folders to existing Immich albums or create new albums on the fly.
* High-Performance Sync Engine: Concurrent, resilient uploads with automatic retries, deduplication, and low memory usage.
* Native Credential Security: Stores authentication tokens and API keys safely in Linux Secret Service / Keyring.
* Complete Privacy: No ads, no third-party telemetry, and no tracking. All data flows directly and exclusively between your computer and your configured Immich server.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Lymic

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/lymic/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install Lymic

To install Lymic, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install lymic
