Auto-Backing Up Phone Photos to a NAS: Immich in Practice
Your phone gallery is the most personal data of the digital age, and self-hosted backup is going mainstream.
Immich deployment notes
- Server: three Docker containers (API/ML/DB), ~1.5 GB RAM on RK3588;
- Mobile: background auto-backup, Wi-Fi-only configurable;
- Machine learning: face clustering and scene tagging, NPU-accelerated;
- Search: semantic queries like “dog at the beach” hit directly.
The math
A 2 TB library costs ~300 RMB/year on cloud photo services, rising forever; self-hosting costs the drive, once. Keeping the data in your own hands is the hidden dividend.
