But if you get a VPS then you are self-hosting, so Immich is an option again?
If you need to have a so-called one-click solution, Zeitkapsl looks interesting (EU, yay) I guess.
And a general question, if you use SSL everything is encrypted anyhow? Or is the advertised E2EE something on top of that, which might be necessary if you don’t have your own certificate or don’t run your own server?







What? Disk encryption is definitely “allowed”, and yes, that is how you should do it. It’s not “cumbersome” either, most installers have a GUI for that, and if Hetzner offers preconfigured images, full disk encryption is probably one of the offers.
I am now convinced that you are a little overwhelmed by the thought of managing a VPS. That is totally OK! But don’t go talking out your ass because of it.
