Oh cool, this looks like something I’d really like. I’ve been using a paid Android app called Simply Auto which is excellent, but self hosting is more fun.

I used to mount network attached storage in /mnt until I had problems accessing it from a Snap. In searching for a solution it was pointed out that snaps are correct in being sandboxed from these types of folders, and users like myself are making things difficult for ourselves by using those system folders.
They said the best practice would be to mount them in a folder in your home directory. I’ve switched to doing that and it works great.
Cool, nice.
A reverse proxy needs you to forward ports 80 and 443, unfortunately.
Meh, even then. If they’re 60MB each that’s only 120GB.
Noticeable difference loading the page? Loading photos? Uploading photos?
Photo files are relatively small, so an HDD is absolutely fine.
Oh thanks for the heads up
I installed MagicMirror onto a Raspberry Pi using a pre-made Magic Mirror OS image (can’t remember where I got that, but I think it’s relatively “official”, so maybe their website? It comes ready to go with Docker and everything you need set up.
Then I installed this https://github.com/pelaxa/MMM-ImmichSlideShow and configured it.
I actually found some additional configuration options by going back in the chain to the project it’s based on (linked at the top of the readme). Their documentation included some additional stuff that actually works with MMM-ImmichSlideShow. Edit: Looking at my config again, and all the stuff is in the MM-ImmichSlideShow documentation now. Maybe they updated it.
Then I hooked up an old monitor, put it in vertical mode, and that’s it.
It was actually kind of difficult to figure out how to get the display to work in vertical mode. A lot of old forum posts are the “old” way of doing it. I ended up making a cronjob that runs 60 seconds after boot and runs some command that rotates the display. I’ll dig it up if you need me to, but since MMM-ImmichSlideShow is still broken it’s not turned on right now so I can’t check it. Here’s the line from my crontab to rotate the display: @reboot sleep 60 && DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right
Aha, that must be it. The photo in question is 6.7MB
I’m able to save a trail without any photos, but if I try to add a photo it lets me select the photo, but saving the trail gives a toast notification in the bottom right that says “Error saving trail.” The web, db, and search logs don’t show any errors.
Mine was having some weird problem with docker, I think it must be a docker bug. Basically it put the Wanderer stuff at the very bottom of the routes (running “sudo route” on Debian lists the routes). The last entry in the routes table needs to be eth0 or the equivalent so that stuff can loop back to the beginning of the list. At least that’s my understanding.
So anyway, to get around that bug/limitation I had to create a static docker network which I called “wanderer-static” using docker network create --attachable -d bridge --subnet 172.28.0.0/16 --gateway 172.28.0.1 wanderer-static
. Choose a subnet that’s not being used already.
Then in the docker compose file, point everything at that network by:
Removing
networks:
wanderer:
driver: bridge
Adding
networks:
wanderer-static:
external: true
And finally, pointing each service to that network. Under each service you should have:
networks:
- wanderer-static
I also had to update the ORIGIN and whatever else to http://wanderer-static:7000
, etc.
Immich is the only thing I run where I check the change log before doing any sort of update. It’s worth it, though. Great software.
This update broke my janky little raspberry pi “photo frame” which uses MagicMirror and a plugin. I probably just need to rename a port in the plugin or something (or wait for an update).
Looks cool. I have it up and running with the docker compose provided. Every time I try to create a user it says “Error creating user”, and the logs say [ERROR] [23:30:00]: Login failed. Unable to obtain cookie.
Edit: I got it working, just had to updated some of the network stuff in the docker compose. The networking in Portainer is a bit “complex”.
I can’t get photos to work. Oh well.
Linux ISO is slang for pirated content. They were clearly joking. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Linux+ISO
A “joke” often references material that is related, but not the same.
I think they were joking.
This is honestly the most confusing and complicated part of self-hosting.
I agree! It took me years to finally decide to buckle down and wrap my head around what a “reverse proxy” is. Once I figured it out things became so much more usable and fun.
Combined with DNS redirects in my LAN (to get around NAT loopback), things are very easy to use.
Lemmy is little too complex for a one click install.
Lemmy consists of:
Each one of those has a number of environmental config options that need to be set before running it all. You need a domain name so that other instances can reach your instance. Your database needs a password, Pict-rs needs to know where to store things, etc.
I recently switched to Dockge and it suites my needs. I like some aspects of Dockge better, but I like the network and image management features of portainer.
