Your point is valid. I’ll use the learnings from this thread for other, robust, services first and keep an eye on the progress of immich in terms of security.

Thank you, I’ll work it out based on what you’ve told me.
Thanks, I’ll figure the best way out based on the responses.
And lol, I did not know about goDaddy being this bad since this was the first time I purchased a domain. Is it possible to move domains from one provider to another or do I have to wait for it to expire and then register on the other provider?
I read about funnel and it is really cool. But it seems to only expose the services through a *.ts.net type of URL. What I want is to use the domain that I’ve acquired.
I have used reverse proxy in office setup where my local IP was NATed to a dedicated public IP. But in my home lab, I don’t have a dedicated public IP. So, i need to figure a way around that.
For now only Immich, but on a sub domain like I said in the PS. And yes, immich is installed using docker.
I’m scared to these ‘breaking changes’ even though I’m not exactly a self hosting newbie. That’s because I don’t have a proper 3-2-1 backup and I’m afraid I might lose my photos or settings. I’ve been exploring of setting up immich through a homeserver management tool like runtipi that allows taking backups separately that can be reverted to, in case something goes wrong. Anyone aware of any negatives about that?
Yes, the other answer also suggests this and I think this will do the trick. Thank you for your response.
Phew! I almost believed I was asking for something beyond the scope of linux-fu. English not being my first language may be part of the reason but still I think I covered everything that was relevant.
Yes, that’s exactly what I want and your post has given me the clarity I needed. M.2 wifi slots don’t support disks so that option is definitely out. I’m going to boot with the latest Ubuntu live OS on a USB and attempt what you’ve outlined.
I don’t have anything really critical on the zfs that is not backed up separately so I’m definitely going to attempt this and learn in the process.
Thank you for taking the time to respond!
The SSD is 256GB while the two HDDs are 4TB each. What kind of zfs config/array do you suggest I create from them?
I get the part that the cloning software does not care for the underlying OS. My worry is the fact that I’ll run the cloning software/command from a live USB which will not be able to detect the zfs mirror on my backup drive on its own and thus break the zfs mirror with bad consequences for the existing data. I could not find any commands to make the live USB OS discover and respect the existing zfs configuration.
I’ll definitely take this route if the wifi slot will not support the m.2 drive. Thanks for the suggestion.
Why do I need to add my nvme to the zfs pool? That doesn’t really make sense.
If the wifi slot does support m.2 drivers (I was just looking for some confirmation/document), it’ll solve my problem. Thanks nonetheless.
I would like to avoid buying additional hardware if possible.
I cannot complain about this. I grew up in a small settlement and while my parents encouraged my scientific temperament, we were too poor to travel anywhere just to see an eclipse. One of the best celestial show comes around and my town is right in the middle of 22km wide line of totality and we got 45 glorious seconds of darkness. Those 45 seconds cemented my love for space.
I would like to replicate your setup in the future. How do you connect between the two machines, using tailscale or something like that?
May I have a large container of coffee right now?
Does portainer, and docker in turn, allow taking/accessing something like point in time snapshots of containers like VM software do? They make it easy to tinker with stuff, knowing that if I mess up, I can go back to a snapshot and be good again.
I don’t have anything to offer but I have a question since I’m on a similar quest. I’m also a n00b when it comes to Docker even though I have best intentions to learn it eventually. In the coming days I want to set up a similar server for photos backup and I was hoping to go with Immich too.
I have heard that Immich occasionally provides updates that are breaking in nature. How does Tipi handle it in such circumstances?
Thank you! I’ll look into it.
