Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!

I set up my old laptop as a home server, with a vps as reverse proxy via nebula. It runs Mint - strange for a server but that’s so it can still be a laptop. Syncthing keeps it in sync with the more portable laptop.
The ‘server’ now runs immich, which I can use super fast from the laptop itself; a bit slower if I connect with nebula over the LAN (it’s firewalled off from the LAN generally); or still pretty decently via the VPS on Https - and that VPS proxy means the family phones can connect with the apps easily.
Immich runs in podman, with some help from Lemmy about how to set that up.
And filebrowser makes it easy to share files or allow uploads with/from family around the world. With caddy on the VPS, ufw on the server and nebula in between, it’s really easy to add in something like filebrowser on a new subdomain.
Next is to try some other podman containers, or set up mqtt and owntracks.

How are you finding immich? I got it running on Ubuntu, and it’s fine on the server, but the android app keeps lagging and crashing.

I’m liking it. I’ve had no problem with the Android app, but then I don’t use it a lot, nor do my 10k pre-shrunk photos compare to some people’s collections here.
My only complaint is that two accounts don’t share great if you want to share face data etc. or to have a shared album show up in each others’ timeline.
