I am running a few lxc which all run a docker container each.

What taxon said.

Most of my services have their own lxc with docker.

A few that need it are vms

It works so well i often forget how i set things up because its very leave and forget about it, Keeps working.

Proxmox all the way, cannot recommend it higher. I was very scared to try it in the beginning but its the best server choice i ever made.

You dont need to choose between lxc or docker. You can just run docker in lxc many helper scripts set you up like that by default.

Super technically they dont recommend doing so but i know others who do this and have never encountered a problem with it.

I am, that works really well actually and it even knows when the same file was moved.

But to add new files to that external library, which is in fact the only main library. We need to dig in immich file structure which at the very least enforces different directories per individual user and also uses those to store some forms of metadata.

We tried sharing a user in the beginning but the app did not seem to like that.

Now its not the biggest deal, just an annoyance. the fix i am currently thinking is to move the immich directory to somewhere hidden and us systemlinks to get all uploads centralized under a single directory for further processing.

I am aware and actually use this but it appears too restrictive for our needs.

The structure we were already using cannot be recreated. Honestly i could live with the default. But my partner who is less into computers likes to make their own backups on external hard drives and uses shared network drives rather then the immich web viewer.

This does not help you but it makes me think of this:

I understand why it makes technical sense to do so but immich storing things in a database in general is more nuisance then practical.

We want those fotos accessible in our own file system where we have full control of what is what.

Immich job is to put the pictures from a phone to the server and also to display all pictures within a certain directory.

It does a good job at both. Having your own file structure is not a problem and it seem to even know and adapt if pics get moved around.

But we have to manually move the photos out of its own structure into our own every time we do a big upload.

Maybe i can set something up with syslinks so it all appears centralized as a big “upload” folder to be sorted.

One option that i am not sering here that is also very safe is install wireguard and allow them to use it via vpn.

You usually only need to specify the internal host ip to setup a port forward. It should forward that to whatever the public ip is at the time.

If the isp is providing the model/router and generally being oppressive i highly recommend researching if you can place your own router behind it.

I believe duckdns has a tool that checks your public ip on a schedule to update your subdomain. (Which they provide for free last I checked)

FYI, voyager started as a hyper performant webapplication namef wefwef

I still have it as a shortcut on my phone as a backup to the official app

Thank you for this. I consider myself technical and those words felt like a punch in the gut.

Standard sure, but with headlines most often being clickbait do we really need to keep doing that?

I’ll argue one step further even. This one here could have been a simple post conveying all the information as one scrolls by. No article or click required.

Here is the entire response. As far as i understand it boils to “we got a lawyer now”

The rest of this link is just blabala this happend, nitendo said blababla

They could have literally summarized this within a single headline.

And for the record OP, so could have you.

We Evolve!

There something really satisfying about witnessing a community starting to talk about serious a issue and days later see things already improved.

Lemmy is now the internet, glory to all volunteer devs. Lets make it the best place we possibly can!
