**In one sentence:** Self-hosted Google Photos — family photo backup with a phone app.

**Why it came up:** Natural fit next to famapp; you don't have photo backup today.

### Questions

1. Is phone photo backup something you actively want?
2. Public with Authentik, or LAN/tailnet only?
3. Storage growth on ZFS — okay?

### Your options

| Option | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| **Do it** | We're doing this — I'll implement or walk you through it |
| **Later** | Keep on the list, not now |
| **Drop** | Remove from plan — totally fine |
| **Tweak** | Change scope; tell me how |

### What we decided

| | |
|---|---|
| **Decision** | Done — photos stack at photos.ginnoir.com (internal/tailnet only) |
| **Notes** | Portainer stack #31. Upload: /storage1/labdata/immich/upload. DB: /config/immich/pgdata. Model cache: /config/immich/model-cache. |
