I recently setup a immich server on a mini PC, and can access it through cloudflare etc.

It works pretty smoothly except for files bigger than 100mb (cloudflare limitation)

I have a few questions, if you can answer some please do.

  1. What’s your setup like? Do you have any tips/tricks for a newbie I should know about?
  2. What’s your backups like? Is your data safe if your house burns down?
  3. Is there a cloudflare alternative I can use that will handle any file size from anywhere in the world without needing to tun on/off a vpn like tailscale?

(i would like to also set it up for my family, but for that is needs to work VERY smoothly, no needing to turn on and off VPN’s to sync)

    If you’re using it as a GCNAT tunnel and you don’t want to use tailscale, then your best bet will likely be either a VPS or asking your ISP for a public IP address. Some ISPs will just say no, but others might provide one for an additional fee.

    You can also look into your IPV6 situation. You might actually already have a public IPv6 address you can use.
