One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.
Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don't know.
Seriously everyone pushes Immich so hard I'm a little suspicious of it now :D
Edit: all right, all right, I installed it. It has a thing about not uploading all the pictures I give it, some error out. I have a feeling it is due to the library being on a NAS share.
It's crazy good for something FREE. Like infinitely better than any major crop google apple etc because you KEEP your photos. Anything you upload to the cloud is being mined by them.
The only thing I tell people is that you need a cloud backup.
I have an automated nightly worker that zips all my photos encrypts them with a 32 character password and then uploads it to a bulk storage facility.
Any suggestions and estimate pricing?
I use backblaze it's like $3 a month or something
Agree, backblaze has been great
Wasabi is a very affordable destination for backups. And it has the advantage of not being one of the big three.
I use backblaze, $6/TB/mo. i set it up with restic backups to get my storage usage so low, that I've used it for 4 months and haven't paid yet.
