I recently setup a immich server on a mini PC, and can access it through cloudflare etc.

It works pretty smoothly except for files bigger than 100mb (cloudflare limitation)

I have a few questions, if you can answer some please do.

  1. What's your setup like? Do you have any tips/tricks for a newbie I should know about?
  2. What's your backups like? Is your data safe if your house burns down?
  3. Is there a cloudflare alternative I can use that will handle any file size from anywhere in the world without needing to tun on/off a vpn like tailscale?

(i would like to also set it up for my family, but for that is needs to work VERY smoothly, no needing to turn on and off VPN's to sync)

  1. I'm running these services on an OVH server in a data centre. It's costly but I need it for my consultancy anyway and it's an absolute beast. immich runs in a container, along side wireguard and traefik containers. borgmatic (for backups) runs on the host.
  2. I have 4 backup repos. One on disk alongside production data. One in OVH storage. One on my homeserver. One unencrypted on a removable disk in my fireproof safe. If OVH facility and my home both suspiciously burn down I will still have the data.
  3. Are you talking about cloudflare tunnels? I'm using wireguard. Wireguard itself is easy enough to configure. Then attach the immich docker container to the wireguard container's network stack. Traefik is a bit of a bitch though, happy to explain more if you're interested.
