I will go even ONE step further than others - if you are scared to start a software like Truenas scale that has a GUI has helped me. A lot of the options offered by others are great but can require a lot of command line stuff. There are a few OS’s out there that are more point and click that I had a lot of success with. Truenas scale runs the docker containers that others are recommending.

I see. That makes total sense. Thank you for the information!

I guess both? Platform recommendations like yours will help point me in the right direction to figure out the admin part bit by bit. Much appreciated

My only issue with it is that on my iphone, the app constantly freezes and says I have 3 photos left to upload. It’s almost certain to freeze for a few minutes and the upload becomes stalled as well. This behavior made it take a long time to backup my library and it makes it a pain in the ass to share photos quickly with people. Popping into the webUI has none of these issues (just no uploading of my photos). I still quite love the app

Set up pi-hole on my network and I’m realizing it clashes with my VPN on my desktop and private relay on my Apple devices lol. Progress everywhere else though?

I felt this hard for two years

Becoming a parent (especially in today’s world where many older people aren’t educated on tech) is going to be a huge battle of boundaries. Thanks for your response! I realize my baby won’t be able to avoid it all but I believe (hope) there’s a difference in thousands of photos hitting advertisers/training algorithms and the few that will slip through.

Lesser of two evils, I guess. I will definitely try to write out some simple rules and a basic explanation for it. Thanks, again!

I used cloudflared zero trust to take a port where the docker app is running and connected it to my website sub domain? I think. So I can access my Immich at that URL

Thanks!

I guess the answer was in front on me all along! Thanks, everyone!

Chinese stealing jobs in 2020? That narrative has been around for at least 40 years!

Congrats! I just pulled off the same thing last week using cloudflare tunneling? The phrase “reverse proxy” scared me too much lol. So props to you.

Immich! Backs up my phone pictures for my family with automatic backup through an easy app interface. Knowing my large album of photos on my phone won’t be tied to an endless growing subscription fees for…ever?!
