What do you mean Immich is not end-to-end encrypted? You control both ends, you can encrypt it any way you want…

They said they only want to control one of the ends

Fair enough, but the Immich provider they link to also uses SSL and claims to encrypt at rest.

It they don’t consider that e2e encrypted, literally nothing is then…

Immich is such a no-brainer replacement for Apple Photos or Google Photos, combined with VPN like Tailscale, it's almost a drop in replacement

Beware that migrating back from Immich to iCloud/Google is not something Immich cares about. There is no "download all" anywhere, best way is to go to the server and get raw files from there.

A download button would be great but the files are already stored on the device you can copy them with a usb or go on the device and upload it directly.

Is there any side effects of leaving the phone connected to Tailscale VPN all day?

The point of Immich is self hosting. Using AWS defeats that purpose

S3 has many open implementations you can self host. Some are quite lean even. Unless you need really complex IAM stuff it's a solid and rather simple experience to run it.

This is a good point. I'd rather have something with the S3 option, so I can serve the pages from my house but the images from a speedier source.

Encryption at rest means they have the key. End to end means they don‘t. Huge difference!

No lots of people including myself do this for homelab access purposes it just works (tm).

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…

In proxmox restoring a backup is really easy, I'm surprised you didn't do that!

if you have a PBS its just incredibly simple.
