I’m new to selfhosting and I find myself rarely using the server, only when I need to retrieve a document or something.

I was thinking of implementing something to make it power on, on demand, but I’m not sure if this might be harmful for the HDDs, and I’m not sure how to implment it if so.

What’s your recommendation to do so? I’m running a dell optiplex 3050

  • I’m not sure how you’d automate deleting stuff while making sure you’re not deleting items that haven’t been sent yet

    Yeah this will be very tricky, I’m thinking if I got over the initial push to Immich, I just delete manually from my phone when I see things have already moved to Immich and I don’t need it anymore.

    Another good practice (at least I’d like to think so), my syncthing-int which sends everything to /photo_libraries also sends everything to two other backup folders that are pinned to separate discs. So if I have a drive failure or multiple drive failures I’d still have a copy of all the photos/albums.

    I will do that to ensure I’ve backed everything up somewhere in case an Immich Failure.
