From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello! Thanks to everyone who helped me yesterday, but I could not solve the issue. I however identified the problem. I opened a new thread to better focus on the real problem.

I just set up a debian server, installed docker from the official repo and then immich using docker compose. When I run docker compose up -d (after a few seconds) my server loses internet connectivity: it can access local addresses (I can ssh into it) but cannot access the internet: ping linux.org fails.

if I put down immich (docker compose down) it starts working again. the issue is probably that docker is creating a network bridge that conflicts with the host.

After searching the web, I tried to create /etc/docker/daemon.json like this:

{
  "bip": "172.18.0.1/24",
  "default-address-pools": [
    {"base": "172.19.0.0/16", "size": 24}
  ]
}

after the changes systemctl restart docker, then wait 10 seconds for everything to restart correctly.
I tried different configurations of addresses here (every stackoverflow answer gave different values, so I tried all of them), but none of them worked. I don't know how to get which values to put here (if this is actually the solution)

a strange behavior I observed is that running ip route flush 0/0 temporary solves the problem, until the restart of docker, and Immich works normally (at least the "normal" behavior, I don't know if this affects some functionalities)

Any tips? This is my really first experience in self hosting and I have to admit it, I thought it would have been easier :P

In case you'll need it, here's the output of ip addr show:

EDIT: I gave up. I removed debian and installed fedora, and now it all works like a charm

after hours I tried to change distribution and went with fedora, set up everything, installed immich, not a single problem, it all works, also duckdns, and now I also have btrfs so I can snapshot my system. I'm probably very unlucky with debian based distributions, on my main laptop I had many problems with ubuntu as first distro, I had to distro hop a bit to find my place in EndeavourOS

thank you very very very very much for your time and help, I really appreciate this! now it's time to actually start this journey in the magic world of self-hosting!
