I was thinking about it and yeah, I don’t see a scenario in which Hetzner will check my photos/disk since that would cause immediate push-back and many people would leave Hetzner platform.

In the future I would like to move to my own NAS so for the time being it seemed as a best solution (I would still probably use Hetzner Storage Box for backups though)

Unfortunately Immich doesn’t encrypt photos on its own and Hetzner also doesn’t offer out-of-the-box encryption at rest.

Per Immich thread on github you should encrypt the whole volume by yourself via LUKS or similar

Mainly because I wanted to use Storage Box as a backup, with it being the main data storage, I would need to figure out backup solution

Plus I was afraid of latency, glad to hear that it is not a problem - maybe in the future I can try to use it as you are now, thanks

Good point, unfortunately Storage Share is only hosted in Germany and I wanted to try their Finland option so I have my backup in a different country.

But yes, this is also a way, thanks for pointing it out

Thank you, once I have my NAS at home, I am going to use Tailscale (with Mullvad VPN combination)

Thank you and yes, NAS is my future choice. For now (since I also host my blog on that server) price is not that bad

Awesome! Glad it helped

This is a very good point! Will check it out

When I realized it could be actually done I was also over the moon - now I can have all my tech articles and local news in my KOReader, no more reading on the laptop!

Good luck with your MtG stories, feel free to share them once they are ready, I would be interested

Thank you, glad it helped!
