Can confirm, I’ve recently got some cameras and set up Frigate and it’s been great. Not using Reolink but the ones I have work well enough. I have a TPLink that I like, and a Hilook starlight camera that I am not convinced on as it doesn’t seem to have auto-exposure adjustment. Both work well for object detection, though there’s a bit of a learning curve with frigate needing to be configured via YAML for a lot of things.
I’ve also started playing with Frigate’s face detection but I don’t think the cameras are really positioned for it. It probably makes more sense for a front door camera getting a good view of the person.
I’ve also got Home Assistant picking up the frigate camera streams which works well too.
Yup, seems the issue for this is still open.
I have local storage for my photos, then backup to object storage using Borgmatic and Rclone to B2. But you’re right, you can’t directly use object storage with Immich.
Local storage on a VPS is expensive, and I’ve never been happy with a lower powered server serving media. Personally I self-host and send a backup to Backblaze B2 for offsite (using Rclone).
I use Borgmatic for incremental, deduplicated backups but make sure you save your encryption key somewhere you can access it if your house burns down.
I think you might be right. Others are talking about a rocky start but reading through the recent release notes it seems like a potentially unrelated issue with a release of a new timeline.
I’m really happy to see this post acknowledge speed issues where there are many items, 100k+. I have around this and have always found Immich to be laggy, while others say how it’s the fastest ever.
I will have to give it another go.
Made up spellings are bad, but good luck searching for anything that isn’t a made up spelling or two words put together.


I think versioning is the better option.
are you writing about losing the backUp drive?
No, losing your main version. Imagine you have a computer with syncthing and a server where it syncs to. If you chose no deletions, then it will sync all files to the server but all the stuff you deleted (draft documents, random files, photos from that time your kid held the camera button on your phone down and took 3000 photos in 30 seconds) will be deleted from your computer but still there on your server.
When you computer gets struck by lightning and everything is destroyed but the server is fine, now you have to re-sort out all your files because all the stuff you deleted is still on the server version.
Your suggestion of enabling the option to keep previous versions is probably cleaner. Personally I prefer to keep previous versions and deduplicate to save space.


Yes, if you go with something like syncthing, have it also sync to a server where you run borg backup so you get the incremental backup.


Yip you can do that but then it’s messy! And what if you overwrite a file by accident?
And if you do lose your hard drive then you have a weird state to restore from.
I’d much prefer the ability to restore to a point in time that comes with something like borg.


Remember sync isn’t a good backup. You’re thinking of loss of drives but if this is important data you need to also consider mistakes.
If you accidentally delete files you shouldn’t, you don’t want this deletion to sync to all your copies so it’s gone for good and the backup doesn’t help.
Personally I use borgmatic to keep incremental, deduplicated backups. Then I can go back to previous states.
If you install nextcloud all in one, it comes with a backup solution (also borg based). Then devices don’t need a copy of every file. But you’ll want your server to have a backup drive for this.
I then sync my borg backup to a backblaze b2 bucket for offsite, encrypted backup using rclone. That then meets the 3 2 1 backup plan.
I notice you mention Jellyfin. I don’t back up my Jellyfin media, the cloud storage for that could get very expensive and I could get it again if I needed it.


I think PieFed has only recently got an API for apps to connect to, hence the surge.
Many of the .ee communities are in the process of migrating, so hopefully the list can be updated with their new homes.
2 years for me as well!


Ok thanks, I’ll have to be extra careful deploying any changes.


Thanks! I did see there’s a docker format and a podman format which I assume is what this difference is about. I’m not against discord but I’ve never really used it. I’ll check it out if I get desperate 🙂


Thanks, I had already played a bit with distrobox and hadn’t worked that out either. It seems adding a Z flag to my bind mount to keep SELinux happy is all that was needed.


I seem to have got it working using podman, adding a Z flag to the bind mount to make SELinux happy.


Oh shit I think that’s it! I’ve added that Z flag to each bind mount declaration in compose.yaml, and it seems to be running properly now. Thanks!
Any idea what the implications are of this transferring to an ubuntu based distro?
Well according to the OP, it’s a list they offer for free and it’s integrated with many browsers including Firefox…
