  Are you paying for Immich somewhere?

  No.

  by managed services I meant like Google Photos

  Not doing that for reasons that shouldn’t need explaining.

    If you’re self hosting then you could just copy all the files from your server onto an external drive. I have to say that’s not a great backup solution though, and you should learn more about administration of Linux servers so that when things break you can fix them. I wouldn’t rely on it as a safe solution to your photos otherwise.

      I’m not looking to become a sysadmin, thanks. I just want somewhere to safely store and organize my private photos.

        Give me the angry downvote all you want but, you are administering a system, you are literally a sysadmin

        And that’s fine and understandable. But I don’t think that Immich is for you. It’s not consumer-grade software. It’s a piece of Linux server software that requires occasional maintenance and administration. We haven’t seen a breaking update in a while but Immich does occasionally release updates where things will break if you don’t dig in to the config files and reconfigure it.

        “I want to be an F1 racer but I don’t wanna learn to drive”

        That’s what I heard you say
