Is that your article ?
I am in a bit of a funny position, I am volunteering in an underdeveloped country, and have my immich instance running at my in-laws. But I don’t have access to my NAS. Backblaze would be ideal!
What have you done to run it there? Is it as easy as mounting juicefs, and pointing immich dirs there?
I have about 700gb that would have to be migrated, any ideas on that? Or would it be relatively transparent to immich just copy and pasting?
I don’t think that you would team them, but add a barrel jack for the big charger.

Especially that last line. Damn powerful. And the whole song talks to me as a father of a 10year old.
I can recommend it for a listen
this is the same with every docker container.
If you have a NUC, i would use that.
Anytime i try something like this with RPi type gizmo’s, i always run into problems. Overkill with a NUC could make your life much easier :D
I have had some Uqiquiti gear become end of life, then no longer supported in the Unifi app, which, well is a problem as that was my AP’s for home. I don’t like the forced obsolescence.
One of my colleagues loves the TP-Link Omada system, which provide similar functionality, and since Ubiquiti did me dirty with the changes, i am considering changing over. I believe the TP-Link gear is a bit cheaper too.
Either way, i would go for a prosumer/small office type setup, so that you can do all the fun things us selfhosted want, but not necessarily need :D
i used dockStarter for a while, but ultimately moved away from it to roll my own docker-compose. This was a few years ago though.
For me, i always want to make it fit with how i want to run my server, so a lot of the times i wanted to adjust the settings. The other big thing is that I always find services not in the library, so need to learn it anyway.
There is nothing (i dont think) stopping you from doing both!
The gradual increase in responsibility. They have to pay board. A roster for dinners, a bill out into their name (one that you can deal with being cut off for a little bit (!!!).
But ultimately, it is also out habit of just getting it done that means we just do it.
I expect that it is a conversation and agreement of shared tasks and responsibilities.
Cutoff access to wifi and don’t pay phone bills, plenty of ways to get started, but it always starts with a chat.
All my hardware needs to move. And I cannot take it with me, but I want to keep my core stuff available. Looking at what people think are some good options.
I expect it will be to a mates house with taolscale or similar in front.
Are any of your services public facing?
Yes. i think that is like a “bastion” server, or something like that. good idea. I expect that i can get more-or-less free VPS, and just run the NPM and tailscale or something there.
I would not run any of the *arrs on a network that is not yours
Good thought, i dont think i would need it whilst i am away anyway.
And definitely make sure your friend knows
yep, responsible hosting :D
thanks for the thoughts.>
Yeah, I’d like it to be a watch topic, or similar.
that's interesting, but there are no comments yet as it was just posted. I would like to be notified when it starts to get some discussion
Sigh. Time to give it a crack. I was happy with bring! Now i need to change
Nice and even across the board
Not judging, but that’s a lot of potatoes.
Avg of 5/wk, 260/y, 5200 over the 20years.
Did you celebrate the 5000th?
yeah the simple workflow of the app -> immich server makes it seamless. i think that is the magic part of immich, the barrier to entry for getting your photos in (and the WAF) is key.
i semi-agree. i added a feature request explicitly asking for that in the really early days of the project.
What i REALLY want from the project is adding to the 3-2-1 type of backup strategy. I want it to also store a backup in an external system. something like local filesystem like it is now, then have a versioned type of backup in an S3 compatible buckets (backblaze B2??). something like a simple borg backup or other incremental backup system.
since it talks a lot about backup of photos, i dont really see it is a backup solution.
note: i LOVE immich
Yeah. Army base I think?
That is a really cool idea. We often think of renewable energy as electricity. But this bypasses that.
I hope it catches on, and is affordable.
Yeah. I would keep the db local, and probably the thumbs and intermediary photos too. But the full resolution would probably be in S3.
dB’s are not good on object store, and not good running over the internet. I wish they had native S3 storage, as that would allow for high speed access, where as this will download to the server, then upload to the client which will add latency.
Cheers
