VPN (or other) Tunnel. That's the objective answer. There's no mystery here. That's exactly how you get what you want and it's not too hard.

How are VPNs related to end-to-end encryption?

Man, I wish my experience was as nice. I used the proxmox lxc for it and after a 2 months of organizing I had some corruption and didn't have the fortitude to get through the debugging. It might have been related to a big version migration if I remember correctly. It turned me off the stack. The upgrading wasn't as turnkey as I wanted it to be and I dont think the case is different today. I just want to be able to or…

I'm not sure I will ever upgrade Immich again. When I upgraded to the next minor version (I forget which off the top of my head), the data migration corrupted my database such that no images would be served. Fortunately I had the old database backed up, so I restored it, rolled back to the older version of Immich, and things were back to normal. I like Immich, but this is not good for software that's beyond the first…

> Fortunately I had the old database backed up

You say this as if it wasn’t Immich itself that backed up the database automatically next to your image files.

I think they’re one of the best self-hosted services when it comes to backup/restore — enabling it by default — and when it comes to migrations — no breaking changes in minor versions after 1.0.

Did you report this issue so I could try and reproduce it?

You can have immich on truenas that has the whole pool encrypted, same goes with opencloud for other docs/files. Plus all nas backup features, I think it’s a better approach than dealing with each app encryption.

Edit: regarding cloud based backup, besides the usual privacy and security concerns, you can’t guarantee the fixed price, you might subscribe now and pay for a year, next year you have the typical “oops, operation cost are high we have to raise the prices or shutdown” blog post and now you’re stuck again, download, find another, upload, etc.

I believe OP meant at rest encryption, meaning, just because someone had an access to your physical drive doesn’t mean they can browse your pics.

Does anyone have any pointers on the best way to import roughly 14 Google takeout chunks into immich? I've downloaded all the chunks once, only to find them corrupted due to... Their 50gb size and using a browser in theory. One also cannot seem to use wget or alternatives because of the auth / session cookies required via Google takeout. I've yet to even broach the aspect of importing each giant bundle into immich be…

Just a quick note that native windows extract is 32bit and dies on archives gt 4gb. Use 7zip or something to extract in case you happen to be using that one.

I had an issue where my thumbnails were borked somehow, so I deleted them all. However, I didn't delete the database entries, so they never got regenerated.

I ended up doing that manually, but it's great to see that is now a first class citizen in 3.0.0. I love Immich.

Isn't system administration a solved problem now with LLMs? At least for these simple problem domains?

Has the ios photo sync gotten better? I've got 20k photos on my phone, and last I tried it filled up the storage on my phone with the originals, and never completed the process, even after leaving my phone open, unlocked, and the immich app running in the foreground for several days, on the same local network as the server.

I know they were working on it, but haven't kept up, I just want to know if it works better now and I should try again.
