It could also be a dns issue if the 5 is part of the hostname.
Comment on Immich server is not reachable

From the little bit I can see in the screenshot I see a 5 starting the IP, assuming that’s a public IP.
Need to know, are you trying to access at home on the same WiFi network or outside your house on cellular?
Have you set up a reverse proxy or done any port forwarding?

Hey, thanks for replying.
I tried portforwarding while I was Debian and it made no difference. I am trying to access on my own WiFi at home.
I haven’t tried reverse proxy as it is only something I came across today and was also looking at tailscale, but I don’t want to use 3rd party solutions yet if I can avoid it, hoping to learn. I’m completely new to this, and haven’t a clue what I’m. The main reason I tried the three os’s was to practice setting up proxmox with a VM as much as trying to find and fix the issue.

Same as the other reply here, if you’re on your local network most likely be a 192. address. You can find this on the host server by the “ip a” command.
Personally immich is pretty advanced for someone new to homelab, you might find starting with homeassistant or something might be easier to get started. Also immich is super beta right now and prone to drastic breaking changes with each update.

Thanks, I typed that command, and i got my ‘public IP address’ which is the one I was using in immich that begins with 5. Further down the list I saw an IP address I hadn’t seen before neither in the setup of proxmox ve, nor in immich. That one begins wth 192.168 I tried it in immich app, and it worked straight away… It was with the line that had <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP> in it.
Thank you a million times over, only now I do not feel as relieved as I thought I would. I think this is a lot harder than I thought it would be, as now I have to get it working when I am not inside the same wifi…
It is bedtime for me now, thank you for your help, and everyone else. I will try and pick up where I left off tonight if I can remember what I need to do.

If you’re on your home WiFi, try the private IP, it will most likely start with 192.168, though it’s possible it will start with 10 or 172.
If you’re accessing it over an external IP, you need to forward ports to the host that runs Immich. Note that not all ISPs support it, you might be out of luck.
But accessing it on the same network (like the same WiFi) should always be possible, you just need to know the correct IP address.

Should the correct IP address be the public one that appears in ip a command?

If the ip a command is being run from same place immich is run and the ip starts with 192 or 10 that is probably what you are looking for. If it doesnt work after plugging that in and you are on same network. Likely a firewall issue. When on the same network port forwarded doesnt really apply
