Other needs

Expose web server to internet​

Using Caddy this becomes easy. Deploy the server with

/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
your-server-name.duckdns.org {

        # Generate password storing hash with: caddy hash-password
        basic_auth {
                # Username "iib", password "bewegung"
                iib $2a$14$basROD3Y0cLE.VqXd.h89.akCQDKzhp6IH9ND2CRFyEICkMrKn3AO        
        }

        root /var/www/iib/

}

Usage of Immich API​

To make use of Immich API you need to allow CORS, example

/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
immich.your-server-name.duckdns.org {

        header {
                Access-Control-Allow-Origin  https://your-server-name.duckdns.org
                Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS"
                Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type, x-api-key"
        }

        @options method OPTIONS
        respond @options 204

        reverse_proxy http://localhost:2283

}

Alternatives​

  • Use user authentication via

    • Authentik, or
    • Client certificates, or
    • Port forwarding over SSH (e.g. using Termius on Android)
