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)
Docker host running immich amongst other containers. Backups are done nightly to a nas device on location, the immich container has a volume mount to an external SSD.
Fire: nah, won’t survive it. Planning to fix this in the next few weeks, setting up a Nas on a remote location.
Just for support purchased the ‘“license”’, entire household moved from Google photos to immich. All using wireguard with the ‘include these applications’ option. Gave them access to jellyfin and satellite receiver too, so they are very happy to keep it up and running. No complaints, immich works great.

I am not OP but I actually have similar questions on backup because I didn’t have access to my Immich server for a few months and got really behind on keeping it updated. I want to make backups before I do a manual update, but I don’t know if following the directions on Immich’s Backup and Restore page is good enough or if I should handle it another way manually.
