Just exposed Immich via a remote and reverse proxy using Caddy and tailscale tunnel. I’m securing Immich using OAuth.

I don’t have very nerdy friends so not many people appreciate this.

    Unless you’re on IOS that will shut your VPN off regularly. Or you want somebody else to be able to access what you’re hosting without having to walk theme through a VPN setup they won’t understand.

      I have a couple dozen customers on ios that use their camera servers via Tailscale. Never had a peep about that sort of thing.

      And the last is the typical sort of “convenience” that gets people popped.

        You’re hearing about it now. It’s an issue with the way iOS handles background tasks and there isn’t any way to fix it. It’s just how the OS works.

          Well, apparently a bunch of farmers are smart enough to press a button without even bothering me about it.

              Yah, imagine my surprise, it’s almost like people are smart enough to manage a VPN without you holding their hands.

                Manage, but not set up. Something tells me you had to do that part for them. And while pushing a button to start your VPN back up every time you want to access your remote service isn’t hard, it’s a nuisance that can be avoided in situations where it isn’t necessary in the first place.
