Hi fellow self-hoster.

Almost one year ago i did experiment with Immich and found, at the time, that it was not up to pair to what i was expecting from it. Basically my use case was slightly different from the Immich user experience.

After all this time i decided to give it another go and i am amazed! It has grown a lot, it now has all the features i need and where lacking at the time.

So, in just a few hours i set it up and configured my external libraries, backup, storage template and OIDC authentication with authelia. All works.

Great kudos to the devs which are doing an amazing work.

I have documented all the steps of the process with the link on top of this post, hope it can be useful for someone.

I don't understand how that's helpful. If something is corrupted or my house burns down, a local backup is going to go with it. That's why I asked for external backups.

I have three tiers of backup. Never heard or the 3,2,1 rule?

3 backups 2 locations 1 offsite

I backup one time on an external disk connected to the server. A second time to another disk, connected on an OpenWRT router located in the patio. A third copy is uploaded to my VPS in the cloud.

not all three are symmetrical due to disk sizes. But critical data is always backed up on all three. Daily backups.

Restic do deduplication and encryption too, so actual data usage is really minimal and all is kept safe.
