what is everyone using for photos? - Lemmy.world

Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I’m looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.

The Immich app does not support self signed ssl certs which is unfortunate for a self hosted app since many home users have ISP imposed restrictions which makes getting a cert from a commercial provider difficult or impossible.

Most other selfhosted apps do not have this problem.

Do those restrictions cause issues with getting certs from Let's Encrypt?
Show thread486Jul 30, 2023
Getting certs from Let's Encrypt should work fine with any provider, even if you can't open any ports, since they do support DNS challenge.

It definitely does. I have some internal-only sites that use Let’s Encrypt certificates. I use acme-dns and Certbot.

Like the peer comment mentioned. just drop nginx in front and let it so the TLS handoff. always recommend to put nginx in front of any open source docker project as you can finetune many of the security controls there.

Why don’t you use LetsEncrypt? You shouldn’t be self signing certs these days
Show threadMelcoJul 30, 2023
To use lets encrypt or any other acme client you either need port 80 or 443 open. As I mentioned, this is not an option for many self hosters who have these poets closed by their ISPs.

If you own a domain name you can use DNS challenge for obtaining the ssl cert, no need to open ports to get a cert issued. Nginx proxy manager has this feature built in and has support for many DNS name registrars.

This is exactly what I do to issue certs to my internal only domains.

This is exactly what I do to issue certs to my internal domains. It works great, and I eventually ported it over for my external ones as well.
