He mentions that he uses Hetzner's volumes for storage and storage box for backups. Hetzner's docs don't mention anything about at-rest encryption and Immich does not encrypt data either, so anyone with access to the VPS or Hetzner account would be able to see them.

If you want end-to-end encryption I'd suggest self-hosting something like Ente

Or hosting immich on a system with an encrypted drive 🤷‍♂️

I just wanted to point out the sensitive part ☺️
