can i use fedora for the Server?

[@ThomasWildeTech]

For sure, just follow the fedora instructions for setting up docker and the rest should be about the same

Thanks! Yeah I generally try to scrub the video of that.

Hi, I have set up immich on the local network but without https, could you make a video on how to set up immich with https on the local network. I have Openmediavault for share folders etc, on it I have docker and portainer, in one container I have immich. If I could now encrypt immich with https, it would be the perfect home server for me. Everything even runs smoothly on the Raspberry. That would be damn cool

[@ThomasWildeTech]

Hey, thanks for the idea. For your use case to have https on the local network, do you share your network with roommates or in general have a concern for sensitive info transferred over the local network or MITM attacks? I also just want to make sure it's clear that this video is enabling https for external access to your Immich server, but like you said, the service is still available with an http connection on the local network. I would look into running a Caddy webserver which greatly simplifies fetching a certificate, even for local use without a domain (self signed). I'll definitely look into making a video about this. Are you wanting to use a domain on the local network too, i.e. run a local DNS server, or is "ip-address:port" sufficient?

[@BET_Tech]

Do you need to buy a domain

[@ThomasWildeTech]

For CloudFlare tunnel you need to own a domain, it works by routing a public URL to your service (Immich). There are other ways to access your Immich server without a domain, including a VPN or mesh VPN service like TailScale. I will post a video on how to use TailScale with Immich after the holidays.

@ThomasWildeTech I just decided to make my own VPN using wiregaurd as it was free
