How do I make my immich available publicly? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I have self hosted immich on Debian on my homelab. I have also setup tailscale to be able to access it outside my home.

Sometime ago, I was able to purchase a domain of my choice from GoDaddy. While I am used to hosting stuff on Linux, I've never exposed it for access publicly. I want to do that now.

Is it something I can do within tailscale or do I need to setup something like cloudflare? What should I be searching for to learn and implement? What precautions to take? I would like to keep the tailscale thing too.

PS: I would like to host immich as a subdomain like photos.mydomain.com.

Thanks!

This is the way.

If you have a dynamic WAN IP (like I do), you can make use of DDNS-updater services such as this.

Also, afaik, Immich does not have chunked uploads yet (not sure if it has been updated to include that) so you might have to check your DNS' policies regarding traffic (e.g. Cloudflare proxy only allows up to 100Mb traffic and can't be used to serve media from what I read).
