Privately Share Photo Albums? (lemm.ee)

Hi all, this is my first post on Lemmy so I apologize if I get the formatting wrong. I am a tech nerd with just enough knowledge to follow YouTube tutorials but never truly understand what I’m doing. I recently created my own truenas scale server using an Aoostar R7 case. I am becoming a dad very soon and my wife and I are looking for ways to share photos of our baby without selling her and biometrics to the big cloud in the sky. The idea of my future daughter being tracked without her consent since birth is really gross to me.

I am wondering if there is a good, relatively simple and friendly way to share photo albums with relatives (normies) that is private and perhaps temporary. Ideally, I could share a private/unlisted link of sorts. I do have an instance of Immich and tunneled it to a web url but I don’t know if it can share with outside users easily.

There are a few public iOS apps that I believe do this but I don’t trust their servers/privacy policies. Any ideas that aren’t a massive headache or require command line guru-status to run?

If you've got Immich hosted already I'd leverage that to be able to share with others. What do you mean by tunneling into a web URL?

For sharing with others, Tailscale is free for 10 users and is very easy to setup on your computer. The problem is that it requires the end user to download an app and login which is definitely a friction point.

I used cloudflared zero trust to take a port where the docker app is running and connected it to my website sub domain? I think. So I can access my Immich at that URL
