I didn’t read your article, yet.
How is the encryption realized? Could Hetzner admins simply view your photos?

Nice read.
If you are the only user of your Immich instance, you can put it behind Tailscale and block outside traffic altogether.
I’ve recently set up Immich as well, but on my own infrastructure, with Tailscale for access from outside my home network
Thank you, once I have my NAS at home, I am going to use Tailscale (with Mullvad VPN combination)
Thank you, interesting read. I came to a similar conclusion as you at the end of your article: it gets pricy real quick, so I opted for the self-hosted NAS and use hetzner storage for backup. I was surprised how easy it is to surpass the 100GB.
But besides hardware and maintenance cost, it costs roughly 5€/month for electricity.
Thank you and yes, NAS is my future choice. For now (since I also host my blog on that server) price is not that bad
