Makes sense. Though if one wants security maybe it’s better to use something like PhotoSync to copy the photos through FTP/anything and mount the volume RO.

Can’t you just mount a RO volume to an Immich container?

Thank you :)

I’ve always found them pretty similar. How’d you chose one or another?

That’s why I added the “kinda”. There are a lot of small AMD boxes that can do a lot with those Ryzen.

These days you can find some kinda NUCS which are way more powerful and customisable for not a lot more than a fully fledged RPI4 with SD card and PSU

You’re not alone. I’ve been rocking Arch for a few years now, and I only reinstalled it when I changed computers. It just works.

Firstly connections to those API should be encrypted, so parameters such as the filename shouldn’t be visible by a MitM. Also, as someone else pointed, you could rename the file beforehand to something neutral.
