More memories. Less figuring it out.

A familiar feeling.
A home of your own.

Browse, upload, and rediscover your photos. We help with the setup so you can get comfortable using your library.

Your library, together

Migration is included. We’ll assess where your photos live and the size of your library before confirming the work and quote.

Your favourite screens

Setup on your devices and a walkthrough help you get comfortable browsing and uploading. Remote access is assessed around your home connection.

A separate second copy

Local backups are configured on a separate storage device or destination. Another folder on the same drive is not an independent backup.

The setup, not just the software.

  • Setup on up to 5 devices
  • Up to 2 hours of support within the first 3 months after installation

We’ll review your hardware, photo library, and backup needs before confirming your quote.

Good questions

Before you bring it home.

What software do you use?

Immich provides the photo library experience. We install and configure it on suitable hardware and explain how to use it. Ottawa Home Server is an independent installation service, not an official Immich partner.

Can I use an old laptop or desktop?

Possibly. We assess condition, storage capacity, power and network availability, and a separate backup destination. Additional equipment is quoted separately.

Will this replace every cloud feature?

We’ll discuss the features you rely on before recommending a setup. Compatibility, automatic uploads, and remote access depend on your devices and connection; no universal feature match is promised.

Does a local backup protect against everything?

No. Theft, fire, or another event at home can affect both copies. Off-site protection is an additional option to discuss and is not included in the base package.

What happens after installation?

Included support and its time window are listed in the package above. The system still needs updates and backup checks. Ongoing maintenance, later changes, and work beyond the agreed scope can be discussed separately.
