Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Translation: "I run immich in a virtual machine, which I can manage from a web browser. The photos themselves are stored on a different device which gets backed up to a remote location twice a day."
So why run immich in a virtual machine instead of in, say, a docker? Wouldn't that be way less overhead? (Or is immich the only thing you're hosting?)
I have a docker VM with a gpu passed through/external access (is this called production?) and another docker VM on another machine with no passthrough/external access. So both VMs are running multiple stacks/services and i just assign based on use case. Storage and memory are cheap imo and it's the most secure way to do it with the skill level i have so it's how i run it. I'm sure there's better ways but 🤷♂️
