Some days ago, I taught you how to install Immich on your Synology NAS. Today I’m going to teach you how to run Immich via HTTPS thanks to Synology Reverse Proxy so that you can use it even when you are not at home.

• STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

• STEP 2

Install Immich using my easy STEP by STEP guide. If you have already installed Immich skip this STEP.

• STEP 3

Make sure you have a synology.me Wildcard Certificate. Follow my guide to get a Wildcard Certificate. If you already have a synology.me Wildcard certificate, skip this STEP.

• STEP 4

Go to Control Panel / Login Portal / Advanced Tab / click Reverse Proxy. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 5

Now click the “Create” button. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 6

After you click the Create button, the window below will open. Follow the instructions in the image below.

On the General area, set the Reverse Proxy Name description: type in Immich. After that, add the following instructions:

Source:
Protocol: HTTPS
Hostname: immich.yourname.synology.me
Port: 443

Check Enable HSTS

Destination:

On the Reverse Proxy Rules click the Custom Header tab. Click Create and then, from the drop-down menu, click WebSocket. After you click on WebSocket, two Header Names and two Values will be automatically added. Click Save. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 8

Go to Control Panel / Network / Connectivity tab/ Check Enable HTTP/2 then click Apply. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 9

Go to Control Panel / Security / Advanced tab/ Check Enable HTTP Compression then click Apply. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 10

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

• STEP 11

Now open your browser and type in your HTTPS/SSL certificate like this https://immich.yourname.synology.me In my case it’s https://immich.mariushosting.synology.me If everything goes right, you will see the Immich main page. Follow the instructions in the image below.
