  • I used to use a docker container that makes db dumps of the database and drops it into the same persistent storage folder the main application uses. I use this for everything in docker that had a db.

    Immich as recently integrated this into the app itself so its no longer needed.

    All my docker persistent data is in a top level folder called dockerdata.

    In that I have sub folders like immich which get mounted as volumes in the docker apps.

    So now I have only 1 folder to backup for everything. I use zfs snapshots to backup locally (zfs auto shot) and borgmatic for remote backups (borgbase).

    All my dockers all compose files that are in git.

    I can restore he entire server by restoring 1 data folder and 1 compose file per stack.










  • The purpose of most of these apps is to be able to use them on multiple devices. If I had immich entirely running on my phone (this is not actually feasible regardless) how do i access my images from my computer.

    Also many people have multiple users. A family could have all their images on one immich server and be able to share images with each other easily.

    On jellyfin for example, I can play any of my media on someone elses TV as long as they have Chromecast. Not possible if its all just kept locally in a folder on a computer




  • Android app doesn’t have file search last I checked (pro feature).

    No full text search on app or website (pro feature)

    The app will just randomly stop being able to connect to the database. I use docker and mariadb. It will just fail for no reason. Restarting the docker stack doesn’t fix it. I use the redeploy button on portainer to get it working again. I use lots of databases in many docker apps, nothing else does this.

    I want to change to owncloud OCIS




  • Others have already answered but this might help understand.

    On cloudflare DNS, I set my domain to point to external IP address my ISP gives me for my router. Ie example.com points to 107.474.274.12

    Within my network, my internal DNS (pi hole) is set to point to the internal IP address of my server. Ie example.com points to 192.168.1.23

    Note that in the first example, the router has port forwarding so that all https traffic (port 443) is forwarded to the internal IP of my server, 192.168.1.23. I’m both example, the traffic ends up in the same place but the route it takes depends on if the traffic starts inside my network (example 2) or outside of the internet (example 1).
