As the title says…

Is this a risky thing?

EDIT: I have a wireguard VPN set up for myself and it’s always on so I can access *arrs and the like. I would like to expose immich on my domain to share photo albums and such.

    You could look into mutual TLS / mTLS to protect your instance. You will need to set this up using a reverse proxy at your server (like Caddy) and then add a client certificate to your user devices. If you use the Immich app, I think it also supports adding this certificate under Settings -> Advanced -> SSL Client Certificate. Here you can find a tutorial on how to set it up: https://www.apalrd.net/posts/2024/network_mtls/

    (Edit: you will need to ensure that all clients who want to receive your shared photos have a client certificate installed, so depending on the number of clients this might be okay or less useful)

      Yeah, this is too much for my needs. My main goal is to be able to send pictures to people via a link.

      Neighbors and family and stuff - less tech savvy folk.
