Automatic background backup for only certain whitelisted Wifi SSIDs?

The reason I'm asking is because I don't expose Immich to the open internet. So if I'm connected to the wifi e.g., at a friend's house and take a picture, Immich will try to upload but can't connect and fail. So is it possible to whitelist only known SSIDs, like your home wifi?

Just let it fail. It will go through when it can reach the server on your WiFi.

Or use vpn tunnel to connect to your home wifi

@macib but will the app retry continuously? My concern is battery drain if it goes in a loop

I have been letting it work like that for a few weeks without noticing impact on battery life
