  • Coud probably be done. Find publicly shared Immich albums -> sync to Google Photos -> share publicly -> write the public Google Photos URL to the metadata of the Immich album.

    Another could be an insulated public facing Immich instance that gets publicly shared albums pushed to it, the same way as with the other scheme. No reverse access to the private Immich instance. Then if that gets hacked, only those photos leak, attacker can’t get their hands on other server data. Assuming it’s really well isolated. A public VPS would probably be best for this.




  • I think self-hosting has the expectation of the ability to self-host for indefinite period of time. E.g. I can run Jellyfin 10.10 for as long as I have the hardware and willingness to run it. A proprietary piece of software, say Plex, could technically allow that too, but that’s much less likely. Since I can’t see its source code, I can’t know if there’s a time bomb that stops it from working at some future date. Or an update/remote procedure I don’t know about that asks me to pay $750 at some point to continue using it. Which could preclude me from being able to continue self-hosting it. Is the ability to self-host indefinitely an expectation everyone shares? Probably not. Probably worth thinking about in this context though.
