Immich is the photo and video management app exposed at photos.<domain> when enabled.

​
Prerequisites

Plan storage before enabling mobile backups. Photos and videos can grow faster than other homelab data.

​
Steps

1

Open Immich

Open https://photos.<domain> from the Node Hub.
2

Create the owner account

Complete first-run setup and confirm that the app URL matches photos.<domain>.
3

Connect mobile backup

Install the Immich mobile app, sign in, and start with a small album or limited backup set.

​
Verify

  • Uploads complete from a browser or mobile client.
  • The storage path has enough free space.
  • Background jobs are not stuck after the first import.

​
Next steps

Uptime Kuma

​
Troubleshooting

Confirm the URL, TLS mode, and whether the phone can resolve photos.<domain> on the current network.
