ANECDOTE

Wife-Reaction Stopped Photo Migration

  • Gary tried to move his wife to Immich but she objected to having family photos exposed on the internet.
  • He spent time seeking a spouse-friendly upload solution and ultimately didn't finish the migration before Christmas.
ADVICE

Use TSD Proxy For Tailscale Container Exposure

  • Try TSD Proxy to expose Docker services securely over Tailscale without public internet exposure.
  • It auto-discovers containers, vends TLS, and registers them on your tailnet for simple remote access.
