When I first set up Immich for my photo hosting, my primary goal was to get the photo hosting working. Ideally, I wanted to be able to arbitrarily share albums or photos without needing viewers to log in. This also implies that I wanted public access to my photos. Lastly, I also needed to finish the backups before I felt comfortable dumping all my photos and videos into it.
All this is to say that I had a long list of priorities before I felt that I could start improving the UX of my Immich instance. I’ve recently gotten to a point where I feel the install is stable, and as a result, I am now starting to check off smaller items on the to-do list for my server. One of the most pressing is the auto-sync feature of Immich through the official Android and iOS apps.

I had to make a cache bypass rule in cloudflare that bypasses caching and some protections when the hostname is my immich install’s subdomain and the URI matched Immich’s API path.
