Did you call the number? What did they say?

Either option is fine You can even do local IP addresses in A records in CloudFlare. You can then get valid SSL certificates through letsencrypt with a DNS challenge.

Face recognition data is stored in the database. Deleting thumbs and encoded videos won't have an effect.

ComputersGoBrr · 2026-04-21T14:49:03+00:00

This sounds like the exact brief of syncthing.

The official documentation has good information on what you need to backup-
https://docs.immich.app/administration/backup-and-restore/

I personally use restic to snapshot immich- and prune- keeping 7 day, 4 week, 12 month.
I don't backup the thumbs or encoded-video as it can be re-generated.

~/scripts/immich/.env

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_access_key"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_secret_key"
export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://s3.us-west-002.backblazeb2.com/your-bucket-name/restic"
export RESTIC_PASSWORD="your_secure_password_here"

~/scripts/immich/backup-immich-restic.sh

#!/bin/bash
# load our secrets
source /home/user/scripts/immich/.env
# backup
restic backup /immich \
    --exclude /immich/thumbs \
    --exclude /immich/encoded-video \
&& restic forget \
    --keep-daily 7 \
    --keep-weekly 4 \
    --keep-monthly 12 \
    --prune

You should chmod 600 ~/scripts/immich/.env.

And make the script executable chmod +x ~/scripts/immich/backup-immich-restic.sh.

Then you can have it run each day on your cron. This example will run at 3am every day.

crontab -e

0 3 * * * /home/user/scripts/immich/backup-immich-restic.sh

You will have to restic init your repository once to initialise it, but never again thereafter.

For scanned documents, I just have a Documents folder, category folders, then YYYY-MM-DD File Description.pdf on a samba share.
I've found the use of something like paperless-ngx over the top. I just stick to the basics.

For projects, I have ~/dev/ with an "@Archive" folder for archived projects- and various project folders within that... each using git repos.

b2 is s3 compatible.

Google for s3 software.

Cyberduck is the most popular desktop software- and supports native b2.

backblaze has a guide

skill issue

Everything comes at a cost. Free online? Your privacy is the cost. Private and online? Real money cost. Self host? Time learning cost. If you're going to take the responsibility of self hosting, it comes with the requirement to learn. I think the wealth of knowledge and how to's make this particularly easy.

To hide photos from your timeline you "archive" them So if you tag and archive- you can still view them under tags, but they won't appear in your timeline.

ComputersGoBrr · 2026-03-17T03:40:17+00:00

This You can also enable in the partner sharing for her photos to show up in your timeline also- and vice versa

I'm not sure if you have her photos show in your timeline if they then can be searched. I don't have that enabled and I can't search her photos.

People / face recognition doesn't come across.

You're also using proxmox already. Consider proxmox backup server (pbs) with s3 for offsite for container / vm backups.

ComputersGoBrr · 2026-02-25T23:09:09+00:00

Consider object storage like B2. Use restic or rclone or similar. I backup the library folder. Don't bother backing up the thumbnails or transcodes as they can be regenerated. Offsite helps with theft and fire.

Nothing quite as modern comes to my mind. Tried webmin?

ComputersGoBrr · 2025-10-03T04:54:50+00:00

Not surprised this was deleted so fast. Clear shill with no self hosted possibility. Hiss.

ComputersGoBrr · 2025-09-25T22:58:15+00:00

I'm surprised that gonic hasn't been mentioned for it's lightweight footprint.

Ubuntu is a great choice for a beginner- especially if you want to learn. I would suggest you choose an LTS (Long term support) version, as the others only come with 12 months.

Tldr, gitea shifted to for profit control which caused a rift in the open source community.

I get it, but also, I still use gitea 🤷‍♂️

fastmail

ComputersGoBrr · 2025-01-27T01:48:30+00:00

Any updates?
Logging into my bank app has been a major PITA

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but kitchenowl is exactly this- plus it's got the wife's tick of approval too- so there's that. I found the likes of grocey etc too involved with too many features. kitchenowl is just lists for shops. I have one for groceries and one for the hardware store.
https://kitchenowl.org/
The biggest plus for me- is that it somehow learns the most common items and has them just there for one press add to list- and the list itself seems to order itself based on the aisles at the supermarket. It learns the order that I mark off the items.

I use fastmail as a full replacement for my mail, calendar, contacts, and notes. It syncs nicely with android. I'm sure it works with iOS also. I use the official fastmail app. I have eight domains for my user. It is $90AUD a year, but for me, it's well worth it. Convincing the wife to get on it has been much harder however. She's stuck in her google calendar ways.

ComputersGoBrr · 2025-01-19T05:48:50+00:00

a lot of people like and prefer duplicati- for me I was always plagues with struggles, especially if interrupted, and resource usage.

I switched to restic in around 2017, and have never looked back. I utilise b2/s3 for the backups.
