You know how that would end…

As others have said, Immich is probably the go to DIY self hosted option.

BUT!

Please ensure that if you self host that you have an off site BACKUP. You don’t want to lose ALL of your families photos if the house burns down etc.

It would be interesting to know the token cost for all of this. I think they are getting lots free as advertising for Anthropic, would it be feasible otherwise?

A lot of it is having bikes wherever, and not having to worry about securing it.

People were using free agent swarms for stuff.

The almost endless opus usage couldn’t last to be fair. I assume those costs are closer to the real cost to provide the service, ouch!

I just ran their docker compose and it worked out of the box

Remember BACKUPS!

Backblaze is way cheaper than most ‘standard’ cloud storage though?

When you said ‘paid’ I was thinking £5, not £50 (for the basic version!)

All your reports arrive late and covered in slime, what do you expect!? 😆

The article mentions wireguard having similar issues, so there are probably lots of articles for each case

Got one provided by my ISP, great free router! On a new ISP now, but still using the old ISPs router!

Comes with automatic dynamic DNS built in if needed too!

That’s why this post has been made to effectively poll the community

Fine to continue using it if you have it, but you would have to be crazy to start using any of their stuff if starting from scratch!

I mean, lots of the individual countries are pretty in debt… The big ones even!

Mod probably has automod set up to notify them of comment edits in old threads.

Immich doesn’t explicitly support hotlinking, I remember it being a bit annoying to get an embeddable link? (Might have just been for video?)

Yes, it has the bot icon

The problem with this kind of stuff is that it HAS to be internet facing, and you want it to be stable so you don’t cause dead links.

You don’t want to be hosting software that’s not getting security updates, especially while linking to it randomly over the internet.
