ngrok isn’t just for development.
That’s news to me lol. I’ve personally only used them for development so I can’t tell you how good they are for running production services.
I just looked at their pricing page and it looks like the Free and Hobbyist only include 1GB and 5GB of data, respectively. I’ve never actually measured my data usage because Cloudflare gives unlimited data, but I suspect that’s nowhere near enough for a photo sharing app like Immich.

True. I’ve never measured the bandwidth, but staring at ntopng flows for a few minutes and you can kind of get the enormity of ingress/egress, which is sometimes mind blowing to me especially for a little homelab outfit like mine. I was just curious if you had a handle on other venues besides the big guys, for the 'at least it’s not Cloudflare brethren in the group. I mean, I know how I am about Google in that I absolutely deny any access. They aren’t on my ‘I HATE’ list or ‘I wish they’d go tits up’ list, I just don’t use them for anything. Now I’m sure that periodically, during my internet travels, I inadvertently use one of their services. With a vast catalog of services that Google possesses, they’ve got their fingers in everybody’s pie. So I can kind of understand the Anti-Cloudflare coalition.
