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.

Can't wait for the stable release next year.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why? No breaking changes or something else in particular?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Mainly no breaking changes. In the past I had to manually fix it on my server a few times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm waiting for the same thing. Have you tried Ente ? It looks like more mature but with less features, is that right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't know about it before you told me. It looks nice but I haven't tried it yet so I don't have an opinion on it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm confused. This says it's version 1.122 - are they going to reset to 1.0?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I meant the first stabile release, my bad.

I'm thinking about self hosting my photo library, do I have to keep it up-to-date constantly to keep compatibility with the android app?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, they recommend against updating without carefully studying the changelog

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just don't let it go too stale, I recommend updating it a few days or a week after a release gets made, since sometimes there are patches for important stuff released the next day or so after a minor one. That being said what I do is I have an RSS feed for their releases so I get a notification when a new release has been made and can check the changelog for important information, most of the times it's just bumping the version on the .env file.

Could I automate the upgrades?

With good backups, rollbacks in case of issues should be trivial.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yup, watchtower will auto update docker containers for you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

You can, just put latest as the version. That's what I do for most other stuff. HOWEVER immich sometimes has breaking changes, so doing this is dangerous, I've broken my install twice because of it, and decided to switch to manual version and check the changelog, it's less work than using latest and fixing when things break.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

There has been about 3 times where auto updating has broken immich for me. But I just go read the docs and there has always been notes on what you need to do to get it working again. 5 mins later its back up and running.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

The app will complain if the server has an incompatible version. Have had it happen a few times, but usually two or three minor versions difference should be okay.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Is there support for HDR photos though? Last time I checked there wasn't, is it time to switch?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When will they add chunking, though...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Chunking and the ability to rotate an image. I guess those features aren’t sexy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you don't mind me asking. What is chunking?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It breaks large uploads into smaller chunks. If you’re hosting behind a reverse proxy and using cloudflare, there’s I think a 100MB upload limit. Can pose a problem for importing some videos.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ah that makes sense. Thank you 😊

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does it work with Synology NAS? Last time I checked it didn't. I'd love to use it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Yup it should run fine since its a docker stack, synology supports docker.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm running it on a DS918+ right now. I copied-pasted their docker-compose file and had it up in half an hour or so.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Man, it's a fucking bitch to set up. Holy shit 😂

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's basically 5 steps listed here https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose

If you're new to docker it will seem like a lot, but they've taken care of most of the work for you already in the docker compose file.

mkdir immich && cd immich

wget -O docker-compose.yml https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml

wget -O .env https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/example.env

nano .env and change the upload location if needed (by default it will be in the 'immich' directory we're in) and the timezone.

docker compose up -d

Now it's running on http://ip:2283/

Then to upgrade later on switch to the 'immich' directory again, do a docker compose pull and docker compose up -d
