I went on Immich and all of my photos were gone. Luckily it was just a Redis issue because of a sudden shut down. Regardless I backed everything up to another server.

No point it hoarding what’s important if you can’t keep it safe

Great point! I don't get using them or VPS's.

How is immich by the way?

Been considering trying it out.

I really like it! I use photosync to send all my iphone photos to my server then it displays them really well. It's also really good at detecting what a photo is or who is in it. I have 70k iphone videos and photos and 10kish other photos and video. It handles them without issue!

If I remember correctly, when I tried backing up my phone media via the immich app it resulted in a lower number than was on my phone. Therefore, I will not trust the app over photosync.

Highly recommend! :)
