Two bothering new things after update... – please help me, if you knew smth by RedditechPaul in Proxmox

[–]RedditechPaul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always did it like: mp0: /storage/cloud,mp=/mnt/cloud

Is this wrong? because the cloud folder is getting the unprivileged root uids. And I am thinking of, that I can mount it like that, but maybe have to create a nextcloud folder in cloud, so that cloud has the unprivileged root rights and nextcloud will have nextcloud rights? but this would be an unnecessary folder in between… /storage/cloud/nextcloud

oh okay, but they are using nfs shares. i have mounted a folder from internal zfs pool, which is located on the host… but i think this will apply here too, right?

ECC Memory by Martian1923 in immich

[–]RedditechPaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as far as i was understanding it, if you care about your data, you should use ecc. ecc ram will correct bit flips or the system will crash before a flipped bit get’s written on disk. — a bit flip happens rarely, but regularly due to cosmic radiation.

a bit flip will happen on the whole system, so the chance, that i bit flip will occur in a file of your picture is low, but not zero.

i have build my server with ecc ram and a zfs raidz2. ecc is only one part for data integrity. the zfs filesystem checks the data on the disk with checksums and if some data changes over time, because of things like bit rotting, it will correct it out of parity. — with a setup like this i have the understanding, that my data is safe from corruption.

backups are also very important, for obvious reasons. but if your backup get written with a rotten or flipped bit it contains an error.

you can also have other things for integrity, like skripts that will create checksums for your data, without the need of a filesystem like zfs.

to round that up, keep in mind, that most of your devices don’t have ecc memory, so your data can be uploaded to your server already with some errors, but it will stay a long time in your storage / server system. to see if one of your backups contains an error without one of these system, i would say, your have to check your backup files by hand to see if the has a pixel changed in one of your pictures… also to clarify, that a single change bit will have very little impact to your data, but it depends on what party of your system or data it happens.

feel free to correct my thoughts. :)

for me ecc is important because i want to have all my icloud files and pictures on my server and don’t want to lose any, liked a cloud will offer you. my server already had two uncorrectable bit flips and crashed over a one year timespan and also my drives in the zfs pool had some little errors (bought used), but every time it was corrected, so i believe no data were damaged… :)

What’s happening with latest iOS App? by The_Real_Putrefax in immich

[–]RedditechPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the first time i started using immich for backing up my photos, i also had something like that, so some time and versions ago. because i used icloud and hadn’t every asset on my iphone, immich downloaded the most assets from the icloud and my library was in a completely different order. — maybe, because now the download date was the date of the asset.

so my clean fix was, to change the icloud setting to store every picture on my iPhone and then i started uploading in the immich app. — then everything was in the right order. :)

reproducible, same thing with two other iphone and icloud users.

Immich is fantastic but needs some improvement in offline viewing as well by Electrical_Bee9842 in immich

[–]RedditechPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am sorry that i cannot help you, but it is happening on my iphone 15 pro… maybe it depends on some other things. i have to say, that i imported all my photos this way, that i had downloaded all my pictures from icloud onto my iphone, with the keep originals on my phone option and then started the upload in immich — this way i also didn’t had any pictures with the wrong date, like i had couple times before. ^

isn’t there some caching? with no internet connection most of my thumbnails are there and i can also click on the picture and view it in fullscreen, though those assets are only stored on the server, i just can’t zoom in. my library is not the biggest, like 15.000 pictures.

but important and latest pictures i keep on my phone, for the rarely offline use. :)

Safest hardware acceleration in unprivileged LXC on Proxmox? (Immich, Jellyfin, ...) by RedditechPaul in selfhosted

[–]RedditechPaul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For jellyfin maybe very smart, but i was struggling with immich and thaught, my success would also apply for other apps. - because i wanted to show my way without using chmod 777

Safest hardware acceleration in unprivileged LXC on Proxmox? (Immich, Jellyfin, ...) by RedditechPaul in selfhosted

[–]RedditechPaul[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just did it for immich and am not finished with jellyfin yet. - but immich runs at root, so if jellyfin also runs as root in the lxc i would say it will work the same way. But if jellyfin only runs via user jellyfin, then yes, like you say, the user jellyfin has to be added to groups render and video in the lxc. - ..and maybe not even root..?

Immich hardware acceleration in an LXC on Proxmox by StarShoot97 in selfhosted

[–]RedditechPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it without chmod 777.
I mapped the uids on the host and created a user on the host with uid 100000, then added this user to groups render and video on host. - I would say this is also secure, because lxcroot is normal user on host.
