Comment on Immich relies on a third-party service that seems shady to me

They could host their own OSM servers though, or at least a caching proxy.

Home assistant’s main use case is showing you where your house is on a single map, though. Not sure how immich works, but if it’s one tile per photo with location data, that would be a MUCH bigger ask.

Oh yeah, that’s a good catch. Hosting their own proxy/CDN in front of OSM should be doable though.

Or you can quite easily configure nginx as your personal caching proxy with an arbitrarily long TTL/retention duration (you can check out my follow-up post for instructions on doing that)

I can see that as a paid premium feature. There are costs to host anything.

At the end of the day, someone has to pay for it. Either the users pay, or Immich’s developers pay, or a map provider pays (by offering it for free and covering the costs).
