Just exposed Immich via a remote and reverse proxy using Caddy and tailscale tunnel. I’m securing Immich using OAuth.

I don’t have very nerdy friends so not many people appreciate this.

    I want to be able to upload/download/share my photos from anywhere in the world without using a VPN. Additionally, this satisfies the wife requirement. It works in the background without her needing her to turn on the VPN. I don’t want her to keep asking me how do I turn on the VPN? If it’s just me, then no issue, I’ll use a VPN.

        Unless you’re on IOS that will shut your VPN off regularly. Or you want somebody else to be able to access what you’re hosting without having to walk theme through a VPN setup they won’t understand.

          I have a couple dozen customers on ios that use their camera servers via Tailscale. Never had a peep about that sort of thing.

          And the last is the typical sort of “convenience” that gets people popped.

            You’re hearing about it now. It’s an issue with the way iOS handles background tasks and there isn’t any way to fix it. It’s just how the OS works.

              Well, apparently a bunch of farmers are smart enough to press a button without even bothering me about it.

                  Yah, imagine my surprise, it’s almost like people are smart enough to manage a VPN without you holding their hands.
