Postman is great for sending api queries.

Appointment looks interesting, I will have a bit of a look.

Yeah. I would keep the db local, and probably the thumbs and intermediary photos too. But the full resolution would probably be in S3.

dB’s are not good on object store, and not good running over the internet. I wish they had native S3 storage, as that would allow for high speed access, where as this will download to the server, then upload to the client which will add latency.

Cheers

This is self hosted dammit! But awesome writeup!

Is that your article ?

I am in a bit of a funny position, I am volunteering in an underdeveloped country, and have my immich instance running at my in-laws. But I don’t have access to my NAS. Backblaze would be ideal!

What have you done to run it there? Is it as easy as mounting juicefs, and pointing immich dirs there?

I have about 700gb that would have to be migrated, any ideas on that? Or would it be relatively transparent to immich just copy and pasting?

The article said that they are the major shareholder.

this is the same with every docker container.

If you have a NUC, i would use that.

Anytime i try something like this with RPi type gizmo’s, i always run into problems. Overkill with a NUC could make your life much easier :D

I have had some Uqiquiti gear become end of life, then no longer supported in the Unifi app, which, well is a problem as that was my AP’s for home. I don’t like the forced obsolescence.

One of my colleagues loves the TP-Link Omada system, which provide similar functionality, and since Ubiquiti did me dirty with the changes, i am considering changing over. I believe the TP-Link gear is a bit cheaper too.

Either way, i would go for a prosumer/small office type setup, so that you can do all the fun things us selfhosted want, but not necessarily need :D

i used dockStarter for a while, but ultimately moved away from it to roll my own docker-compose. This was a few years ago though.

For me, i always want to make it fit with how i want to run my server, so a lot of the times i wanted to adjust the settings. The other big thing is that I always find services not in the library, so need to learn it anyway.

There is nothing (i dont think) stopping you from doing both!

I have got recording ssid’s when I connect, but not the password.

It also doesn’t check whether it exists in the list, not sure how to do that yet. I think I need pro to use lists and dictionaries

i have just started running radicale a lot more for calendars and contacts. then use betterbird for the client on my laptop and other android apps.

the problem is that there is no web-ui. otherwise, relatively solid and lightweight server so far.

Can you share your macro’s?

oh that is cool. thanks!

Any ideas on which would be a better automate tool? i have not used either.

Depending. But yes. A lot of the time they go the long way around, and head out to some server and back to your local network.

If the internet is down, or the vendor shits off the server, the device stops working.

Home assistant is attempting to localise everything, and get different vendors devices to work together.

Note, for your hass install, it can be installed on any server. Though I am using the green device

I too am interested.

Yeah, this sucks.

It seems like it was killed by litigation by Google:(

I use radicale and Android (fossify calendar on f-droid).

Interesting, makes it easy to understand what nix is attempting to achieve.

All my hardware needs to move. And I cannot take it with me, but I want to keep my core stuff available. Looking at what people think are some good options.

I expect it will be to a mates house with taolscale or similar in front.

Are any of your services public facing?

Yes. i think that is like a “bastion” server, or something like that. good idea. I expect that i can get more-or-less free VPS, and just run the NPM and tailscale or something there.

I would not run any of the *arrs on a network that is not yours

Good thought, i dont think i would need it whilst i am away anyway.

And definitely make sure your friend knows

yep, responsible hosting :D

thanks for the thoughts.>

Sigh. Time to give it a crack. I was happy with bring! Now i need to change

There is a Firefox adding that can load a page amd extract a div, and track it over time. But the browser needs to be open. It is called PageProbe

I used it to track the price of an item, looking for a sale.

edit - updated the name and added link

So you just mount the immich folder in the duplicate container? Or run it native?

yeah the simple workflow of the app -> immich server makes it seamless. i think that is the magic part of immich, the barrier to entry for getting your photos in (and the WAF) is key.

i semi-agree. i added a feature request explicitly asking for that in the really early days of the project.

What i REALLY want from the project is adding to the 3-2-1 type of backup strategy. I want it to also store a backup in an external system. something like local filesystem like it is now, then have a versioned type of backup in an S3 compatible buckets (backblaze B2??). something like a simple borg backup or other incremental backup system.

since it talks a lot about backup of photos, i dont really see it is a backup solution.

note: i LOVE immich

That is a really cool idea. We often think of renewable energy as electricity. But this bypasses that.

I hope it catches on, and is affordable.

Very cool!

yeah, i have kobo glo currently, need to get some more for an upcoming long trip. thanks for the vote for Kiobo!

i have an older Kobo Glo, which does not have the library integration, but i am wanting to do exactly the same as you. get a few to take with us, and use the library borrowing to get books to read.

that would be good to know!

thanks. i will look at readarr and ubooquity as the server side.

I have seen some books i acquired as over 100mb, typically with kids books. not sure why, but there you have it.

I think i will skip the tablet, due to battery life, i love the weeks of use of my current kobo Glo.

thanks

Cool work! Love the idea of hooking into the fediverse toolset

A mate of mine does this, and it has been amazing. All of his levels have been in the “zone” much more consistently.

Definitely something that should have been done a while ago

Nice. Sad, but nice
