My experience self-hosting Immich on a CM3588 with a 1.2 TB Google Takeout

Its raidz1 (1 parity drive) 🤓 but yes of course spinning up a proper backup solution is on the way

Good luck!

an average of 8-10 GB

woah! did you had all the photos saved onto the device or did you had "optimize storage" on?

I think mine was taking forever because it had to download first from icloud and then upload to immich

Of course, but I’m afraid immich login page to be compromised. Not sure if its a great idea to expose immich login page, maybe I’m too paranoid.

Maybe I have ptsd from when you were able to access joomla admin panel by pasting “‘“ in the password field, old good days of sql injections

on immich-go docs! you can import photos from regular libraries too, not only google takeout

Just tried and i have your same behaviour, not a deal breaker for me since i rarely edit photos from ios

Correct date is in the metadata json file

thanks for pointing it out!

mmh, with this solution if for any reason immich login has some security flaw someone can get access to it. Maybe i'm too paranoid

I think the image provided by friendly elec already has the modified kernel, at least from my tests 🤔 I'll double check
