How icloud prices made me self host!

Approved

Session Description

I dropped my phone. Someone returned it, but the scare made me realize I needed a more reliable backup strategy.

Looking at iCloud pricing, paying recurring fees for something I could potentially run on my own hardware didn’t make sense. So I finally tried something I’d been putting off: self-hosting my photo library.

In this 15-minute talk, I’ll share:

What the phone incident taught me about backups
Investigating OSS solutions
Self-hosting "Immich" at home
The real trade-offs: cost, maintenance, reliability, and control
