That’s always a danger.

You could host the server on its own vlan and use tailscale to tunnel from a VPS to your server. This way your IP isn’t exposed to the public. You can also add crowdsec or similar on the VPS.

I do the same thing with traefik on my dirt cheap VPS.

You could try wormhole. It makes a direct connection.

This is the way.

Check out Immich Kiosk as an example for image frames.

Also Cloudflare adds a caching layer, often physically closer to users. Increasing speed of delivery and reducing server costs. It’s a no-brainer for server admins.

Also, I don’t work for Cloudflare either. The animosity is new to me, and certainly something I’ll look into.

You can also use something called wormhole. Very handy tech.

Looks very cool! Added it to my home lab to-do!

Wow, I stand corrected. I wonder where I got that from then. Thank you for the link.

Engineer is a protected title in the UK. You can be a software engineer, if you are qualified to be.

The benefit is also it’s curse. It’s all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.

But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.

Which is a huge hurdle for new people 😬

Something doesn’t work in a particular piece of software. “Don’t they test their program?”. “All they need to do is X, obviously they don’t know how to code!”.

Sometimes it isn’t as easy as you think.

As a developer, this is the answer. I can’t wait for the day I can finally stop supporting old Amazon Kindle devices.

And just to piggyback on this comment, I’m an Android developer and we this information is critical for determining similarities for bug solving.

You would not believe how often there is a bug caused by a specific model of phone. That connection you can only know if you log that for every crash you get.

On my Fritzbox, I needed to add all my Subdomains to a list under:

DNS Rebind Protection Your FRITZ!Box suppresses DNS responses that refer to IP addresses in its own home network (DNS rebind protection). Here you can specify exceptions for which DNS rebind protection should not apply. Do this by entering the complete name of the host (domain name including the subdomain) in the list.

That’s under network settings, advanced. In case you have that.

I use a HDD for my immich instance. I have a feeling it might have made the initial import process quicker (complete google photos dump). However, general usage, I have found zero bottlenecks.

Thank you for the chuckle.
