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

Yup, watchtower will auto update docker containers for you.

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

I don’t understand how lemmy and fedi apps in general still have this problem, they never seem to be able to recognize a link and just show it on my home instance.

RAID means that if a drive fails you don’t have some downtime while your backups restore. It depends on how you feel about waiting for that.

skykick

Wtf is this? Their website is awful.

$12 per mailbox is a crazy high price.

dockers volume storage is bloody annoying to backup

They’re just normal folders located in /var/lib/docker/volumes so you can back up that directory.

Backup for docker is no different than backing up anything else.

Volumes are located in /var/lib/docker/volumes by default, so just back up that directory with Restic or Borg, or something like Backrest if you want notifications and stuff handled for you.

Or you can do mount points to a directory instead of using volumes and back that up, but it’s really the same process.

Docker is generally the easiest to install and update, and won’t disturb other existing applications.

I’m confused because the article talks about self hosting on a VPS and how many self hosted services could stand up to legal action?

That sounds like it’s describing running a public service for others. Self-hosting IMO is running something for yourself, it doesn’t even need to be on the public internet 99% of the time.

Running a service for others is just plain old hosting.

It’s basically the minimum level of redundancy you should have for storing important data.

3 total copies, 2 different types of storage, 1 of them offsite.

Backups also need to be tested like twice a year or so, do a restore as a test (full if you can, but partial is something at least) and make sure the data is what you expect.

CasaOS is fine, but the downside of tools like it is you don’t really know what’s going on under the hood, so if/when something breaks it may be really hard to fix.

But if it works for you I don’t see a reason to change. Just make sure you’ve got reliable backups following the 3-2-1 rule.

What instance?

You could do it with mdadm

Always have at least 3 copies of any important data. Follow the 3-2-1 rule.

Data loss can happen due to so many reasons, the only safe option is reliable and tested backups.

ext4 and others too.

You can ignore the RAM usage, it’s just cache. It uses up to half your RAM by default but if other things need it zfs will just clear RAM for that to happen.

Sounds like your business needs to update their GPO to disable those features that aren’t useful for your business.

Except for disabling UAC, that’s basically like logging in and running everything as root on Linux.

There are also options that are open source, like OsmAnd+ or Organic Maps.

I’ve yet to come across one that doesn’t allow it, that’s a pretty important feature for anything listening on a port to have.
