Nice!. I would like to do something like this but for Photos. I want to get off Dropbox and Google for a while. At the top of my list are: 1. Create a memories like feature from my photos to send on my cell phone, grouping by different features I like: anniversaries, similar activities, A `Me an X(X is Spouse, family, friends etc)`, Over the years(how x has evolved over the years). 2. Be able to save photos taken from my device to my servers. I've set up three true-nas machines in different places with 2TB of space and want to slowly build this feature.

I just did this with Immich. I have 2TB of photos in it and I backup my phone automatically. Using cloudflare tunnels to access remotely.

  same. super convenient to be able to go to photos.[domain].com for my photos. the immich android app is great too. cloudflare tunnels is a game changer, I can't believe it's free.

Could you explain cloudflare tunnels are secure. I understand not punching holes through one's firewall and dealing with a residential connection that's often targeted for exploits. However, if one targets the tunnel endpoint to exploit is it more secure even though it's still exposed to the public?

      Secure how? You're exposing a port to the Internet, the tunnel doesn't make it more or less secure. If you don't trust the service, don't expose it.

    Check out pangolin. You can get all the awesome of cloudflare tunnela without having your traffic sold to dat aggregators. Jims garge on youtube just did a decent video on it.

I just did this a few months ago. I used PhotoPrism https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism

  I used Photoprism for over a year, even paid the "server license" and I'm now using Immich which is much more powerful, sleek, gets new features very quickly (sometimes it's even too fast paced) and in general has got much more traction with the community.

    Oh and I forgot to mention the mobile app! When I did the switch the difference was like night and day. Actually Photoprism didn't even have an official mobile app, you could just sync photos in the background with SyncThing for example and keep using your phone's photo galley app, although there was a Photoprism app as well. Immich is just a backend service like a mobile app, it's only current big defect is that it's useless if it cannot contact the server on start-up

If you use a synology NAS their OS (Diskstation Manager) supports this via their Photos[1] and Moments[2] apps [1] https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/feature/photos https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/feature/photos [2] https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/feature/moments https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/feature/moments
