I recently setup a immich server on a mini PC, and can access it through cloudflare etc.
It works pretty smoothly except for files bigger than 100mb (cloudflare limitation)
I have a few questions, if you can answer some please do.
- What’s your setup like? Do you have any tips/tricks for a newbie I should know about?
- What’s your backups like? Is your data safe if your house burns down?
- Is there a cloudflare alternative I can use that will handle any file size from anywhere in the world without needing to tun on/off a vpn like tailscale?
(i would like to also set it up for my family, but for that is needs to work VERY smoothly, no needing to turn on and off VPN’s to sync)
As I understand and have been using it, you don’t need to turn off the tailscale connection. It’s only going to affect how any individual IP address gets routed. In this case, whatever the IP is of Immich. If a phone connected to your tailscale node (phone is anywhere in the world) wants 192.168.1.50 for example, tailscale redirects that request to the other end of the tailscale VPN which happens to be at your home instead of whatever network the phone is connected to. Any non defined IPs just go where they normally would.
