Hi all
I’m going to set up a little server on a pretty old Mac Mini, with an external RAID 1 enclosure. It’s initially got two main purposes - to run an Immich server to backup my photos when I’m away travelling, and to give me something to learn about Linux and self-hosting on. I used Linux a bit back in the day, but I’ve been living the lazy Mac life for years. I’d really like to transition out of the Mac ecosystem eventually, so this is an initial toe in the water towards that aim.
I’m planning on running Debian, for stability and compatibility, and backing up to a separate NAS that already exists, so that I’m not completely screwed if (definitely when) I mess something up. It’ll all be set up in my power/internet access point shed, so I’d prefer it to be fully remote access, no screen/DE.
It seems like I’ll be running Immich in Docker, and that I’ll need Tailscale/Wireguard for my remote connection. Does this seem like a decent initial plan? Are there any decent resources for learning this that you’d recommend? I already own the hardware, and all my photos are safe on SD card, SSD, and local backup, so there’s no real consequence to me messing about with this. Any advice/thoughts would be welcome

Honest question: is it made by FUTO, or sponsored by FUTO? It does make quite a bit of difference to me. Wikipedia isn’t clear about it.

I don’t care about the original post so much as “YOU ARE A PERSON ON THE INTERNET WHO PUBLICLY SAID THEY MIGHT HAVE MADE A MISTAKE”, that makes you one in a million and potentially better than anyone on social media.
Yay you!
You’re sweet Buck, have a nice day, you ray of sunshine!
Immich team joined the organization after the project was already mature and popular. Immich team keeps full autonomy as part of the deal https://immich.app/blog/immich-joins-futo
Made by. They link futo.org as their ‘company’ on the immich website. It’s open source so if you really want to use it there’s nothing wrong with forking it.
