Earlier quoted context omitted.

I would love to know if there's a way to secure this though. I'm not prepared to have people constantly trying to login to my immich instance so it's only accessible via VPN

You can use something like Immich Public Proxy to only expose the /share path of your server and keep the main /api path that has everything else behind VPN

Awesome!!!

A lot of people talking about encryption in the comment section, thought I would share my setup. I have been running Immich for family and friends on a Hetzner auction server for about 1.5 years now. Hetzner community provides official full-disk encryption documentation: https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/install-debian-with-... Letsencrypt gives free reliable SSL. You can easily hide Immich behind Nginx proxy t…

FYI the setup you mention is not "end-to-end" encrypted. E2EE means client-to-client encrypted, with the server processing encrypted bits only. Your approach is encryption in transit and at rest. At rest is relatively irrelevent for large cloud providers, as they are probably better at managing the lifecycle of disks than most businesses or people. It's unlikely someone's going to physically rob a data center or end…

He's understandably using the wrong term because E2EE should include private servers as a variant, but does not by definition. In the case where I own the server end of the communication, the data being fully encrypted on that server is far less important than when it is stored in the cloud. The effect is the same however, since sending encrypted photos over HTTPS to be decrypted client side would be completely unnecessary in most cases.

A quite amazing open source project, that COMPLETELY FAILS to explain to a newcomer what it is, what problem it solves, etc.
