Lol at the obsidian criticisms in the self hosted community :)
Couchdb is like 20 years old and not exactly 'novel'
I setup a docker for his like 2 years ago and did nothing other than update once in that time. Live sync has otherwise been rock solid on multiple devices.
Obsidian not being open source is very valid criticism. The above 2 things really aren't.
I suspect most people open it via subdomain or cloudflare tunnel and it seems secure enough. Haven't seen reports of people getting hacked left and right.
VPN Certainly is more secure and works for a few people but becomes annoying if you have users that don't want to mess with a VPN. It also helps if you want to make a public share link to someone without an account.
This is a deep sleep issue. A google search will show that many modern processors can't actually deep sleep (S3) and therefore the only option is to hibernate or shut it off.
To find out if you can, sleep the computer, wake it up then run:
journalctl | grep S3
There should be a line about what type of sleep is available and another line about what type of sleep your computer was just in.
If S3 is not listed as an available sleep mode you might get lucky and be able to turn it on in the bios. If you can't then you are out of luck.
Since I use fedora atomic, I used this to turn on deep sleep:
rpm-ostree kargs --append="mem_sleep_default=deep"
Wireguard uses public and private keys which are designed from the ground up to be used over plain text to establish the handshake so it isn't an issue. Same idea with ssh keys and ssl keys
I think what OP meant by 'early development' is the updates with break Changes.
Ive been using immich in docker self hosted for 1.5 years.
I use authentik for user management and single sign on.
The breaking changes have only ever been minor changes I've had to make to my docker compose file, its always come back with no issues after the well described changes in the release notes and several of the changes I didn't even have to do because it did not apply to me.
This is petty standard stuff for anyone used to self hosting but if that sounds like its not for you then check out the roadmap. The stable version is expected next year sometime. Wait for that before giving it a try.
Personally I like the fast development, I find myself likely and using at least 1 new feature ever major update. I think this will easily become the best photo manager in 1 to 2 years and it will not longer be much of a competition
