A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Is it hard to breathe in that rarified air, up on your high horse?

I'll keep taking my calculated risks. You keep judging strangers on the internet. πŸ‘

roofuskit is right. Unless you use it as secondary method of backing up your memories - it is foolish. There are constant breaking changes that requires modification to Docker-Compose for Immich project. But you do you. :) I am not Google to tell you what to do. πŸ˜…

Immich saves pictures on the filesystem, where they are easily picked up by all my backup solutions. My pictures also get uploaded on NextCloud before being moved to Immich's auto-upload folder.

... Where exactly is the risk for my precious memories? The bloody thing could rm -rf /* for all I care.

Immich's repo explicitly states not to rely on it as a primary backup of your photos and videos. Seems to me the more foolish thing would be to ignore that advice.
