Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If you run immich with docker, you can choose any drive/folder for your photos by mounting it at the right location inside the docker container.
However, I would strongly suggest that you also use some other kind of backup beside rest. I personally like restic combined with Backblaze B2, but there are many other good solutions for this.
I agree, OP please do proper backups, because RAID is not a backup.
Borg is another great option for doing backups.
Yeah the only thing I'll need to backup will just be the photos. This machine is just gonna run Ubuntu server so I can try out a bunch of other self hostable services for fun. I'll take a look into Borg though! Always appreciate any suggestions.
