One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.
Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don't know.
It's crazy good for something FREE. Like infinitely better than any major crop google apple etc because you KEEP your photos. Anything you upload to the cloud is being mined by them.
The only thing I tell people is that you need a cloud backup.
I have an automated nightly worker that zips all my photos encrypts them with a 32 character password and then uploads it to a bulk storage facility.
I do something similar using restic to encrypt, deduplicate, and backup my photos to backblaze every now and then. Out of curiosity, any particular reason you choose zip over something like restic?
I use restic too, just said zip since more people might understand it easier
Ah, got you!
Any suggestions and estimate pricing?
I use backblaze it's like $3 a month or something
Agree, backblaze has been great
Wasabi is a very affordable destination for backups. And it has the advantage of not being one of the big three.
I use backblaze, $6/TB/mo. i set it up with restic backups to get my storage usage so low, that I've used it for 4 months and haven't paid yet.
Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.
