My journey self-hosting "Google Photos" for cheap.
· 8 min read
So far, I have been copying all the images to one of my external hard disks from my phone on a weekly basis. I would have already wasted hours doing that. Also, if I accidentally delete an image (also from the Trash), it would be gone forever and I would not be able to back that image up. So, I wanted a one-way photos sync thing that checks and uploads images very regularly. Now that my requirement is clear, I went out to find a solution to this. In this article, I will talk about my journey in coming to the final solution.
Note that this is not a step by step guide for setting up Immich.
