A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

As the title says...

Is this a risky thing?

EDIT: I have a wireguard VPN set up for myself and it's always on so I can access *arrs and the like. I would like to expose immich on my domain to share photo albums and such.

You are increasing the attack vector immensely, and it is up to you to ensure that it is well protected and up to date. The attack effort won't be high though and most of the attacks would be pretty basic, still I wouldn't risk something so personal, like your image library.

I would suggest for you to look into Wireguard or Tailscale for accessing your personal Immich instance.

I've already got wireguard set up and that's how I access it. I would like the ability to share stuff with people though

Public subdomain pointing to an internal Tailscale IP. Generate Let's Encrypt certificates using the domain alone. Browsers don't scream, access only works via Tailscale.
