    I’ve been wanting to give this a shot, but I’m not sure if I just need an Nginx reverse proxy sitting in front to expose it to the Internet? I don’t really want to have to vpn into my home lab every time I want to upload/view photos.

      You can do that but you’re risking your entire photo library being on the clearweb if a 0 day exploit is found.

        Yeah, that is a risk, but it’s a pretty reasonable one to take. VPN is good but certainly not ideal for some self hosted services.

        If Immich, or Jellyfin, have all 0 day exploit that allows remote access to the network, a lot of folks will be freaking out, including me.
