I see someone mention watchtower, while not a bad thing, I just prefer to manually update. This helps to ensure any breaking changes don’t break my system. Especially with something like Immich at it’s had a lot of them recently as they work towards stable. I just generally subscribe to their release and do updates as necessary.

Now that you mention it, I always do a

docker system prune -f

This will clean up old images that are no longer used. I setup an alias command in Linux to do all of those commands.

I just named it docker_update and saved it in my ~/.bashrc

Did you use docker compose file or just run a command to start the container?

Edit: I always use compose files. For that you can do the following:

docker compose pull
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

You don’t technically need the stop, but I’ve found once or twice in the past where it was good to stop because of image dependencies that I forgot to put in my compose.

For running a command directly I found this website that seems to summarize it pretty well I think:

Not that I’m aware of, but I’m not as knowledgeable as someone else. I’m hoping some quick research or someone better can help. If I remember I can look later on this evening, but can’t at the moment.

Someone more knowledge than me can correct me, but I’m pretty sure you could buy a newer bigger drive to replace an older drive. You obviously wouldn’t get the full capacity as it would be limited by the other older slower drives. However, you would get a, theoretically, more reliable drive than a random one on eBay. Then as you replace older drives eventually you could have increased size.

Caveat is that it will put stress on the old drive to rebuild, however you’d get that with any drive you put in. General wisdom I saw says to replace all the drives. Although that can be expensive.

I’m any case make sure you have a backup before you do any of the changes.

A little off topic, but on first glance I thought that website was called fart caller.

On topic, I’ve never Heard of this service. I still haven’t setup anything like this. Might give it a try.

I’ve been enjoying bazzite!

Hopefully someone smarter than me can help. You can always do what I do, and just blow up the install and start fresh. 😂

Darn.

I suppose you could also try using the lsof command to see if it shows anything different?

Some examples: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-linux-check-if-port-is-in-use-command/

This may sound silly, but have you tried restarting? I feel like that worked for me when I had a similar issue in the past. Something was holding onto the port, but it wasn’t showing up anywhere. Restart got it to let go and it worked afterwards.

Lots of good suggestions. I’ve also used memos, but wasn’t a huge fan of how the notes were organized. Solid app and definitely worth a look.

Edit: I’m holding out hope for when notesnook goes self-hosted.

Edit 2: after looking at my older instance I see they save the notes in a database and is not relevant to your question.

Oof, you weren’t kidding about the price. Seems like a pretty solid piece of software though.

This is 100% my experience and setup. (Though I run Debian for my docker VM)

I did run docker in an LXC but ran into some weird permission issues that shouldn’t have existed. Ran it again in VM and no issues with the same setup. Decided to keep it that way.

I do run my plex and jellyfin on an LXC tough. No issues with that so far.

That was one of the things I got wrong at first as well. But it totally makes it much easier in the long run.

I have proxmox on bare metal, an HBA card to passthrough to TrueNAS Scale. I’ve had good luck with this setup.

The HBA card is to passthrough to TrueNAS so it can get direct control of the drives for ZFS. I got mine on eBay.

I’m running proxmox so that I can separate some of my processes (e.g. plex LXC) into a different VM.

Also good!

Or ‘shot and killed’ maybe?

I see you spared no expense.

While not that much easier, you can press and hold an image until it gets served, then drag your finger up or down to select multiple photos. You can hold it at the edge to scroll and select. Isn’t great for thousands of photos, but better than selecting individual days.

(For future reference and for others’ info)

You know, I never thought about that until now. Not that I send that many links out, but still another thing to think about.
