Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I love this.
Free features, but offering actual useful services for self-hosters (encrypted cloud backup). Great business model for a project like this.
Having their own flagship instance, like Ente, would go a long way toward providing funding. I bet Ente is making a whole lot more money.
They said they will do that in a FUTO video I can't find right now.
Cool!

Oh that's cool too but I was talking about supporting the project.
Yeah I know, I agree as well. I was just sharing a curiosity as they are already offering a managed immich service.
I would say if you want a managed option on someone else's server it should be encrypted (a la Ente).
Absolutely, but even then I would have trouble trusting it.

What is the difference between a paid service and a paywalled service in this case?
If you donβt want to pay Immich for backups, you can take care of off-site backups yourself using tools like rclone to your hard drive or any off-site storage of your choice. A paywall here would be not allowing offsite backups at all unless you pay Immich.
I sync with syncthing to an 8tb hard drive at work. Then backblaze that ish.
A paid service is something that is going to have running costs on the side of the provider. E.g. the cloud backup means they need to buy/rent storage space. If they were to do something like a service for remote machine-learning (for people that do not have the hardware to properly do that) that would be a running cost of renting gpu-time.
A paywall is a feature that would work perfectly fine without any external factors, but its blocked because you didn't pay.
Some nuance is needed of course. Often a paid service could be self-hosted (thats why I love being able to self-host the machine learning in immich, with a different design choice that could've totally been a paid service).
Yeah this sort of bitwarden / nextcloud funding model is great IMO.
