October 22, 2025Oct 22 So I've searched around and I found a number of threads about photo backup but I'm looking for something simpler. What I'm looking for is something that will let me view a set of pictures on my unraid server remotely (notably from my Android phone).I'm not necessarily looking for backup, I'm still using google for backing up my phone photos, and I've also got resilio sync syncing those to my server as well. What I have is pictures I took with my DSLR and processed that I'd like to be able to view from my phone. I've thought about using resilio sync to sync those to my phone but I don't need them all stored on my phone, so I was hoping to find something that will pull down photos/previews on demand.I've already got wireguard setup to let my phone access my LAN for other apps like Home Assistant.I thought maybe I could use plex, but it requires and account (which I don't have) for the VPN connection.Immich seems like it would work, but also seems like massive overkill for what I'm looking for.Any other ideas?Thanks
October 22, 2025Oct 22 I would go for Immich, but if that's not an option, you can maybe try Jellyfin, which is free.
October 22, 2025Oct 22 Definitely immich... https://bmartino1.weebly.com/immich-on-unraid-docker-compose-guide.htmlhttps://bmartino1.weebly.com/immich-on-unraid-ca-docker.html support:https://forums.unraid.net/topic/146106-immich-docker-self-hosted-google-photos-setup/ forum pages: Edited October 22, 2025Oct 22 by bmartino1

October 22, 2025Oct 22 Author Yeah really all I'm trying to do is be able to access certain photos from my phone/away from home. I have a lot of photos that I've "developed" from my DLSR that are stored on my unraid server and I run as slideshows on my TVs. I'd like to be able to get at those on my phone. Don't need them stored in the cloud (I've already got a backup solution).Sounds like Immich is worth a shot. I wasn't sure if there was something simpler/less overkill.
October 22, 2025Oct 22 Immich is not just a backup solution, you can browse, manage, search etc. But if you want something really simple jellyfin is a good option. You just create the library, and then you can browse your photos. Quick, easy, and simple. Nothing too fancy.
