I have recently repurposed and old Hp Stream to a home server and successfully run Immich. I really like it and even a small 500GB disk is way more than the 15GB Google offers.

My issue though is about backup. I would only be comfortable if all the data is backed up in an off-site server (cloud). But the back up storage will probably cost as much as paying for a service like ente or similar, directly replacing Google photo.

What am I missing? Where do you store your backup?

    I bought a Synology that I keep at my in-laws, then use Syncthing to keep my pictures backed up. I just started, so I don’t know how it will go long term.

    If anyone else has a better option than Syncthing for Linux to Synology, I would love to hear it.
