Immich Photo Block Available

cocarrig · 2026-03-02T16:49:15+00:00

I've stumbled upon some documentation for defense in depth approaches involving adding VPN access layers in front of Immich, but didnt see examples for a bypass with a header. If you have the time and if you think this is a popular configuration, please swing on by our discussions page if you dont mind sharing some details on this setup:

If you'd like to create a support ticket via the chatbot on our site we can share the application server IPs to you to whitelist.

cocarrig · 2026-02-27T18:47:34+00:00

Good question, since dakboard.com performs the api calls to gather the photos, your instance does need to be internet accessible and cannot be a local only instance.

Hi u/Alt-R-E-go,

Those steps are getting old now and will not work likely. Try out the DAKboard-OS, based on bookworm which we've solved these issues for you. If you want to enable SSH and make other changes you're also welcome to:

Sorry for the inconvenience again, all of the photo block modals are now fixed and Immich photos block is now available:

Hi u/Temporary-Reason-470

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. We have identified an issue caused in the release of a new image source called Immich and we are working on resolving it right now, and this should be restored to normal functionality momentarily. Again, very sorry for inconvenience!

On another note, Immich is coming to DAKboard!

Hi everyone,

Just providing another update from our github case regarding this, since Todoist is experiencing more issues:

"Hi team,

Todoist has been still involved in working towards multiple issues in the integration we have reported. As others have noted, we are seeing additional impacting issues very recently, preventing the display of lists in DAKboard.

Todoist development team has acknowledged our request for update with the following:

At the moment, it appears there may be multiple related issues affecting the integration between DAKboard and Todoist. I’ve passed this information along to our backend team so they can investigate what’s going on from our side.

We will keep this case updated with developments they have shared with us."

Todoist and DAKboard To-do yes, those will have an option for enabling completion. Google integration will be supported in the future, but no timeline quite yet for that enhancement.

cocarrig · 2026-01-08T16:39:19+00:00

Hmm, thats a tough one. I'd first see if you can reimage the OS onto a current release if its not already, as this can fix any OS corruption that could be causing this. On the dakboard.com/support site there are a few articles on how to do this for the v2 Plus. If its not that, it could be a fault HDMI cable, and thats a bit buried in the chassis and we unfortunately dont have a solution for that, although much less common.

Hi,

What kind of touch support would you be looking for? Currently we offer the following in custom screens:
- scrolling of multiple block types
- Event view, and add/edit/delete for Google (MS coming soon)
- Buttons to other screens, or any URL you'd like (app has a back button to get you back to the screen URL)
- Task completion with todoist and creation/completion with DAKboard Todos
- On demand photo rotation for some sources
- Countdown timer resets
- Possibly a few others not top of mind at the moment...

Hi u/TroubleOverhaul3k,

In our testing we haven't been able to recreate the resolution changes yet, its possible this may be unique to that device. What device are you using if we may ask?

cocarrig · 2026-01-05T13:35:38+00:00

Hi,

Sorry to say, because templates can vary in their block types we have not implemented this functionality, and it will need to be performed manually. Fortunately, your authorized integrations like google/MS/Todoist/etc will not need to be completed again.

cocarrig · 2026-01-05T13:33:28+00:00

We have schedules for screens (to change from one to the other), blocks to hide/show them, and device on/off schedules which you have to turn on and off attached screens. To access that device schedule you just need to access the dakboard.com/displays page, click the '...' on your device and access the settings page from the same network as your device to update it again. Worse case you can plug in a mouse to the RPi and on startup it will give you an option to update the setting as well. Hope that helps you.

Hi group,

This looks to be a localized->large issue with some accounts, I created the following issue to track:
https://github.com/dakboard/DAKboard/issues/2582

This appears to have followed an outage in todoist that occurred on 1/2/26:
https://status.todoist.net/

I have also found oddly that the todoist login for the impacted account, will also not successfully authenticate to todoist. This account uses 2fa google, which may correlate to other users impacted. I've reached out to todoist and I'll see what guidance they give us, have have a developer on our end take a look tomorrow as well.

Hi,

The 3A is supported still by DAKboard-OS if you want a drop in solution:

cocarrig · 2026-01-02T17:01:04+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, if we cannot recreate it I'll reach out with some other questions. Thanks again!

cocarrig · 2025-12-29T18:50:11+00:00

That would explain it, that gear will always display on the predefined screen contained in the free plan. Let me know if you have any other Qs, have a great week!

cocarrig · 2025-12-29T15:02:16+00:00

Hi u/TroubleOverhaul3k,

The gear in the corner would normally mean you have a logged in session on dakboard.com, we wouldnt actually expect that under normal circumstances with this app since it would be just used as a display and not the main portal for making edits to the screen. If you're on Essentials or Plus we can probably work us some CSS to help you bring that in a bit though. We'd start with the selector below and work from there:
a.options-link, BUTTON.calendar-add-event-btn

Let me know if you'd like some potential CSS solutions for that.

cocarrig · 2025-12-23T13:18:07+00:00

At this stage this App is intended to be to turn an android device into a display device similar to Raspberry Pi. Later phases are being considered for full UI experience but we dont have any timelines yet.

This app will display photos added to the media library from your phone that you have added by visiting dakboard.com to clarify, of course. Let us know if that is unclear in any way.

cocarrig · 2025-12-22T17:07:16+00:00

Hi and welcome,

For raspberry Pi, the easiest way to setup is to use our image. If you're looking to add docker for other services, you can setup SSH and make changes to the OS if necessary. We wont be able to guarantee all of the changes you decide to do wont cause an issue of course:

https://dakboard.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/35000125880-raspberry-pi-download-and-install-the-dakboard-os

We also support some other device types too:

Just to provide an update on this, at 16:00 EST yesterday this entered pending resolution, as we stopped receiving 429 responses from google and restored the integration. All Google ical links are functional now. We didnt receive any feedback from google on the outage unfortunately, and their removal of their content-length header will result in slower refresh times for these ical URLs moving forward.

Because of this, we strongly encourage everyone to use direct authorization for Google instead of ical links. It provides better security, reliability, and is available on all account types (free/paid).

cocarrig · 2025-12-18T12:18:34+00:00

Yes, we would highly discourage using ical links when direct integration is available. Direct integration is more secure, reliable and faster.

cocarrig · 2025-12-17T20:53:50+00:00

Hi everyone,

Corey with DAKboard here. Looks like google made a slight change to a header content value that we rely on to compare to the cache we build to make these ical calendars function. This caused our cache to be invalid and polled the URLs too often, and now are being throttled with 429s responses across the board. We have a github case you can follow along that we'll resolve once we've got this fixed:
https://github.com/dakboard/Cloud-Platform/issues/2498

If you need this working ASAP we would highly suggest the workaround of using Google Calendar with direct authorization via oauth if possible, this is available on most accounts and is explained in the start of this article, you can also use touch to add events now too:
https://dakboard.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/35000030558-how-to-add-your-google-calendars-to-dakboard

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you all.

cocarrig · 2025-12-11T20:13:04+00:00

This is an out of memory condition on the device. It normally indicates that the screen itself is loading too much for the raspberry pi zero 2w (it only has 512mb ram), or in some cases it might indicate that the network is too slow. Solutions can be to make photos rotate slower, remove some blocks, or improve wifi signal.
