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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

The backup doc from Immich states that one should use Postgres' dump functionality to backup the database, as well as copy the upload location.

Is there any counter indication to doing this instead:

  • Create a dir immich with subdirs db and library
  • Mount the db dir as a volume for the database
  • Mount the library dir as a volume for the upload location
  • Backup the whole immich dir without dumping the Postgres db. (Stop Immich while before doing this)

They do have a doc for this. https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/

I dump my immich db weekly and every 2 weeks sync the media folders to a remote destination
