Best setup with Cloudflare Tunnel
Hi, I've been searching on discord and github and found that many people are using Cloudflare Tunnel as a reverse proxy for Immich. I'm also doing this, and it's mostly working fine, except to upload large files (I know this is a known issue). I wonder how are other people with a similar setup working around this limitation. In https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/2101 the author claims that they were able to upload large files through Cloudflare, but it does not work for me (in fact the app does not even detect that it fails and tries to upload the files again and again).
Currently I have the public URL on my app so that it works from anywhere, and when I want to upload a large file I log out, log in with my local server ip, upload the file, log out and then log in again with the public URL. It is not terrible because I don't have large files to upload very often, but I was wondering if anyone has a better setup. Thanks!
PS: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/1674 is locked, is there an active discussion anywhere else? I'm considering contributing to the project and implementing it myself
