Looking to switch my photos over to immich hosted on my PC. I want to be able to:

  • send photos from my phone to PC
  • delete them off of my phone and have them safe on my PC
  • I don’t need to do this all the time, so I figured immich on my local network is fine. Then I don’t have to figure out wireguard.

However, right now I have free VPN on my phone. I can’t access immich, but I suppose this is why. I also believe that if I have VPN features that allow me to select which apps use VPN and which do not, I could route immich to ignore the VPN, and I would be able to see it on my local network.

Am I on the right track?

    Thanks!

    Yes! split-tunneling was the term I was looking for.

    Good-enough is exactly what I’m going for, lol. I will get an SSD for backup.
