I've written a series of blog posts about a "hands-off" self-hosting setup intended for relative beginners. (cyclicircuit.prose.sh)

Recently, I've found myself walking several friends through what is essentially the same basic setup:

Install Ubuntu server
Install Docker
Configure Tailscale
Configure Dockge
Set up automatic updates on Ubuntu/Apt and Dockge/Docker
Self-host a few web apps, some publicly available, some on the Tailnet.

After realizing that this setup is generally pretty good for relative newcomers to self-hosting and is pretty stable (in the sense that it runs for a while and remains up-to-date without much human interference) I decided that I should write a few blog posts about how it works so that other people can set it up for themselves.

As of right now, there's:

Coming soon:

Immich
Backups with Syncthing
Jellyfin
Elementary monitoring with Homepage
Cloudflare Tunnels

Constructive feedback is always appreciated.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I am planning a backups article

Yeah a little xD but FWIW this article series is based on what I personally run (and have set up for several friends) and its been doing pretty well for at least a year.

But I have backups which can be used to recover from the issues with breaking updates.

Photoprism > Immich

[–] curled@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 year ago

I haven't tried photoprism in a while, but when I tried it, it wasn't even close.

Photoprism seems more suited if you're a photographer to index your professional work where immich aims to be a google photos/icloud alternative.

Immich has native mobile apps to do the syncing and provide a (great) interface for search, it has much better multi-user support, including sharing albums, and much more features than I'm willing to type out here.

The only thing missing, for me at least, is better support for local files to eliminate the need for another gallery app/file picker.
