Immich to cloud exporter

Script to export immich data as a structured folder. Useful if you want to browse your albums etc when immich is broken.

To-do

• Create folders like "Misc {{year}}" for photos that are not in albums
• Move (or rename?) photos that are deleted in Immich but exist on the local disk
• Dockerize the tool so it's easy to run on the server
• Stretch: Preserve metadata (e.g. file creation times)
• Stretch: directly sync to Proton Drive (skipping the local filesystem)
