It is amazing how usable Immich is with so little hardware. I run it off a Proxmox VM with a caddy container as a reverse proxy and it just works so well. The hardest part is figuring out how to safely expose it so you can share albums with others, but Immich Public Proxy[0] is great for that. [0] https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy

There is an immich proxy project: https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy I wouldn't make the instance itself public, but I think this is a decent tradeoff. Of course still requires one to be a sysadmin.

Yeah, sharing is one of the big problems with Immich. You either need to expose your whole instance to make share links publicly accessible (and there's no way to secure user accounts with 2FA), or create user accounts for the people you want to share with and/or invite them and set up your VPN for them to access the shares. There's https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy , which is a weird workaround (it's a separate gallery frontend that syncs with your instance to only expose this specific service, so you can keep your Immich instane private).

Immich alone may not be sufficient, but immich-public-proxy might be: https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy Check out the sample gallery: https://immich-demo.note.sx/share/gJfs8l4LcJJrBUpjhMnDoKXFt1Tm5vKXPbXl8BgwPtLtEBCOOObqbQdV5i0oun5hZjQ
