As the title says...

Is this a risky thing?

EDIT: I have a wireguard VPN set up for myself and it's always on so I can access *arrs and the like. I would like to expose immich on my domain to share photo albums and such.

You are increasing the attack vector immensely, and it is up to you to ensure that it is well protected and up to date. The attack effort won't be high though and most of the attacks would be pretty basic, still I wouldn't risk something so personal, like your image library.

I would suggest for you to look into Wireguard or Tailscale for accessing your personal Immich instance.

I've already got wireguard set up and that's how I access it. I would like the ability to share stuff with people though

Public subdomain pointing to an internal Tailscale IP. Generate Let's Encrypt certificates using the domain alone. Browsers don't scream, access only works via Tailscale.
