Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

One rclone command isn't much more complicated than one button.
Reading the comment I replied to, it appears to be much much more complicated. And I don't understand how anyone can claim otherwise.
You need to backup exactly two folders, which i have also pointed out in another commend and in the wiki.
However you back those folder up, it's up to you.
Key word is "appears". Choose your source and destination, run rclone. That's it. No harder than going to the page, clicking export, picking a folder, save. It's really not hard at all, give it a try.
This tells me absolutely nothing about how to do that. Source for what? Destination for what? Choose them where? What is rclone? Where do I get it? How do I run it? What does it do?
All questions that don't need to be answered before clicking a button in the UI.
E: That was very much not it, and they asked me to Google the rest of it.
The source and destination for the data we're discussing? Only you know where you're keeping it and where you're backing it up to, so you'll have to fill in those blanks yourself. The remainder of your questions can be answered with a cursory Google search (or other search engine of your choice).
I have no idea where that data is. Immich does.
Telling me to Google it is unhelpful and rude and further backs up my point that it is more complicated. If there is a button, I don't need to research anything, I just click it.
Immich is not magic. You were the one that set up and configured it. If you are unable to remember, I'm sure you could examine your configuration.
I am unable to provide any more information about rclone bevause I have never used it myself, but I am damn sure that if I did even the barest amount of effort to learn it on my own that I could find all the information I need and more, instead of expecting the information to be spit into my mouth like a baby bird.
I did not ask for magic. I asked for a button to export my data. Unless you consider that to be magical?
I'm sure you could. And I'm sure I could. The problem is knowing what to do with that information. As it is, it might as well all be fucking hieroglyphics to me. I don't understand it.
You seem to be unable to comprehend that everyone is not a sysadmin. I do, however, know how to click buttons in a UI.
I am happy to hold your hand through administering your server, but my support rates start at $120/hr.
Once again, not what I asked for. If you don't have anything helpful to contribute, please feel free to stop replying to me.
