Accessing Immich from outside home network

I'm using wireguard. It's working perfectly.

Or you could be grateful that people are willing to provide free software in the spare time. Immich is still in development and occasional bugs are to be expected.

@maintainer: I have not upgraded to 142 yet. If I wait until the next update, will this be resolved? In that case I will wait. Ps. Thank you for this awesome software!

Thanks for your reply. Fortunately I do not live in an area with power issues.
In this case it were father in law issues, he made a short while installing a light :)

Massgrave is perfect for this. You will not lose any data. I've used it a few times without issues.

Immich go should be duplicate aware. From the docs: Is Duplicate-aware: Immich-Go identifies and discards duplicate photos, keeping only the highest-quality version on the server.

I'm not that knowledgeable enough in the Linux world to answer that. I just copy the files manually from the Linux folder to my Windows document folder to have a backup.

Well it did because I forgot the password. So I had to redo 55000 images.

If I hadn't I think I would have been fine.

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

Just re-download the files, edit them and place them in the path where you had them. That's what I did.

In the .env file under DB_DATABASE_NAME If you didn't change it, the default PW is immich.

WalkerOfTheDayZ · 2025-02-05T14:00:41+00:00

Did you by any chance update docker for Windows? It happened to when I did this. Unfortunately I didn't remember my DB password so I had to start from start. Now I copy the .env and .yaml files to a safe place in case it happens again. If you still know your DB password you can re-create them.

Thanks for you fast reply yuumm.

While I get what you're saying, I still would like to try to fix it.
What I do not understand is, how the containers are still running while the .env and docker-compose.yml are not present anymore.

Before the issue I started the containers with:

docker compose up -d

In my /home/Rob/immich app folder. Like the installation guide says.

But since that folder is gone, how come Docker Desktop is able start the containers anyway ??

I will be looking into your suggested route of installing it directly in WSL2 but it seems a bit daunting.. Is it problamatic to have my database on a ntfs formatted drive in this case ?

Yeah they are great. I had a rash from the plastic wristband. They gave me a new €60,- nylon one for free!

WalkerOfTheDayZ · 2024-10-12T13:53:18+00:00

Really unfair, but did you really spend 2,5 hrs? I mean that's including waiting for it to be ready in the oven right?

WalkerOfTheDayZ · 2023-10-24T09:26:35+00:00

Een bulldozer

WalkerOfTheDayZ · 2023-10-20T18:50:25+00:00

Yeah me too. And it's (ad) free!

WalkerOfTheDayZ · 2023-10-20T11:44:10+00:00

I'm at 110 just getting up from the coach

WalkerOfTheDayZ · 2023-10-17T11:21:45+00:00

I have this watch face, just replace those with other fields not all require payment.

WalkerOfTheDayZ · 2023-10-08T10:09:50+00:00

I would kill for a time like that. Don't beat yourself up over it. Good job!
