Been trying it for a little while. It’s exactly what I have been looking for.
- Works great
- is encrypted
- can be self hosted
- edge ML for photo search (not perfect yet)

Been trying it for a little while. It’s exactly what I have been looking for.
I have around 800 GB of photos from me, my dad and my fiance. That would be $ 20 a month. Ok, still not bad, I don’t think I could get it much cheaper on a VPS.
For now what I’m doing is running https://immich.app on my laptop at home with a connected external USB drive. It’s not e2e encrypted, just with ssl on https. But other than that it seems to have similar functionality.
Would like to hear how it workes out for you if you decide to transfer all 800 GB
I also really wonder, they say face recognition and ML categorization happen on the edge. I guess this would drain the battery quite a lot doing it for the 800 GB and it will take forever.
B2 is about $5/TB.
If you keep your eyes open for deals (LowEndBox) you could find an inexpensive storage VPS. I’ve got one now providing 2 TB for $5/mo.
Damn, that’s a great price. Who is your VPS provider so I can keep an eye out for similar deals?
