Self-hosted photo and video management solution. Easily back up, organize, and manage your photos on your own server. Immich helps you
browse, search and organize your photos and videos with ease, without sacrificing your privacy.
Anyone know of a good managed hosting (or vps) for Immich that doesn’t break the bank? I have about 5TB of photos/videos and I don’t feel safe without a remote backup. I played with self hosting and I really (really) like Immich but I keep Google photos/Drive just to ensure I won’t lose anything.
There are products that will let you back up onto your buddy’s free space and vice-versa, but the simplest pricy thing you can do is to drop a NAS at a friend’s place and set up a VPN.
But maybe the monthly fee is okay for now. Maybe consider proton for files instead?
I have 10tb and just ended up getting a 8 bay Synology. Practically turnkey and the photo app is pretty nice. A work of warning. Once your photos get to around 7tb, the photo system sometimes crashes. I spoke to a dev at Synology and there is a fix coming.
That’s what I do. 1.6TB currently on rsync.net, only my personal artifacts excluding all media that can be reacquired and it’s a reasonable $10/mo. Synced daily at 4am.
If I wanted my backups to include my media collection or anything exceeding several TB, I would build a second NAS and drop it at my parents’.
I just have my data folder and database being copied to backblaze. It’s relatively cheap. Most hosting providers don’t necessarily do backup unless you configure that on your own anyway.

Reverse proxy if your home internet is decent.
50mbps upload is fine for me.
I had it running on a mini PC with 8tb of storage, but I couldn’t get the latency down to where I want it, so I moved it to a VPS.
Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.
rsync.net is awesome.

I use Netcup VPS
Wow, 7tb for $21/month. That’s much better than I’ve been seeing.
