  • I’m surprised I had to go this far to find immich. I 100% recommend it, and yes it’s selfhosting if you run it yourself. Still selfhosted even if you use a VPS as long as you control and administer it.

    For hardware, I actually recommend against raspberry pis these days. You can get a cheap mini PC that’s much more performant and better supported for the same price as a pi plus the accessories (SD card, case, power supply, etc). Use Debian or Ubuntu as host and follow the guide on the github for installation.








  • I have this exact configuration for my home and it works great. Door/window/indoor motion sensors trigger an alarm. Frigate cameras outside ping me if the alarm is active but don’t trigger it outright. I also have a panic button to trigger it. I also have it tell me what triggered the alarm and have a list of the latest events. Lastly, make sure you setup an automation to let you know when batteries die. Typically happens after a couple years.






  • +1 for frigate in a docker container. You can run it on a pi. If you want object/person detection (which helps a lot in alerting/notfiying), then a coral usb accelerator is also a good add on to the pi. Lastly tailscale for remote management. Camera wise I prefer amcrest, but reolink are also good. Wifi can be finicky, but will work as long as you have signal. You will still likely need a power source since battery cameras don’t last long at all.

    We desperately need another option in this space. I love GOS, but another real competitor in the phone arena would force Google to start playing ball. Hoping this will push the software side forward. They can always fix hardware afterwards.
