    Small comment. If instead of a storage box you use storage share, it’s 1 extra Euro a month but gives you a Dropbox instance for that Tb, so you can have backups + personal files.

      Good point, unfortunately Storage Share is only hosted in Germany and I wanted to try their Finland option so I have my backup in a different country.

      But yes, this is also a way, thanks for pointing it out

    I’ve been self-hosting immich from my living room since 2024 (accessible from outside via a Wireguard VPN tunnel). It’s the single thing that got me into self-hosting because it’s just so good! Even if you don’t want to go down the whole server rabbit hole, it’s trivial to just set it up on your everyday desktop or laptop and have all your picture synced there.
