Comment on Security considerations about hosting Immich from home
nfms@lemmy.ml 1 week agoI think this should be talked about more. Does every selfhosted app need to be public facing?
I use Immich as a backup service, so i really don’t have any need to have it public facing. It connects when I’m home. Same with contacts/calendar.

I have many services that doesn’t “need” to be public, as public facing for one specific reason. TLS.
A lot of the times android apps won’t connect to http directions, not even local ones, and require a proper https connection with a well known CA.
For that I put the services behind a caddy reverse proxy to get a valid tls certificate.
And them I do the trick, and basically on caddy reject all connection that’s not local. Thus, making the supposedly “public” site a practical “local” one.
Once there I just connect through wireguard.

Clever. I’m just starting to mess with Caddy. Been struggling with Vaultwarden lately and your solution might fit my needs.
