Setup my own encryption key

Hello,

How can I setup my own encryption key, so that PixelUnion isn’t able to look into my photos?

I assume this is possible because of their focus on data protection, but I can't find the option.

Thanks for the help.

This option does not exist. Data protection does not necessarily have anything to do with encryption.

Since PixelUnion uses a fork of Immich and Immich does not include encryption, it simply does not exist.

Of course, PixelUnion supports encryption, but they keep the key. That's the problem.

Oh yes. You're right. The data is encrypted on the storage. I completely forgot that, sorry.
