Confused about setting up and installing through terminal
So I want to use my minecraft server as a NAS, and I already had the minecraft server set up through AMP, and using webmin. The software for my server is just Ubuntu Server, no desktop interface.
The PC came with a 6tb Hard drive that I haven't used yet, and its honestly the perfect amount I need to replace google cloud for me and my mom. However, I am having trouble with the set up, trying to figure out how to install Immich through one of the linux methods. I want to manage and use it on my Windows PC like AMP and Webmin through my browser, but don't know which one to use. Docker, or TrueNAS. It seems to be needing a different Linux Distro and I was told it was just an application program I could install like AMP.

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.Yes you would need to install docker. That’s not an OS, it’s a container platform
Our docs have links to docker setup
Okay, I see it now, Docker compose and not engine
oh docker compose on top of engine
Okay so I have docker engine, and now compose installed.
Okay so I did the steps for immich but docker compose up - d is giving me an error. I'm looking into it
this is something related to user permissions, when you do
docker run (something)
docker uses /var/run/docke.sock
i bet its root if you did sudo apt install docker etc
do
ls -l /var/run/docker.sock
i think (dont hold me liable for this) you can also do
sudo docker compose up -d and error should go away, but then i think you run immich as root
but then again, if its not an exposed server maybe its no issue
:peepoShrug:
Alr that did it, but um my server on webmin does show up as Unsecure. I've been meaning to find a way to make sure it's secure
you connect with
https://ip:port?
it will show that yes
in order to get it secure youd need to set up TLS i think
i did that with traefik, it automatically install certificates for websites you host
you can also use npm
I haven't,
Oh ik what you mean now. Yeah For my programs I use my Static IP and different ports for each program.
Okay now odd question, is there a way for me and my mom to have seperate backups on Immich?
If not it's honestly fine, it's mostly for her I don't really need it for myself..
it is, go to administration, users, make a new user
and when you connect her phone use that user
Ah gotchu, now to figure out how to mount immich to the 6tb hdd because its on the 250 gb instead rn
mount the hdd to your machine
lsblk
mount /dev/whatever /mountpoint
then in the yaml youll need to bind mount
/mountpoint:/(i dont remember but immich data)
Is it cool if I dm you?
sure
i UH.. Idk what I did but I managed to make immich have access to the amount I want. I'm just now making the exclusive libraries for each user.
I mounted it to my user, and rebooted my pc and it worked but it removed the docker files I had installed it seems but docker runs fine when verifying stuff
ALr figured it out nvm allg ood now
