You know… it’s hilarious you say that about staying on top of your selfhosted stuff.

I learned that lesson not too long ago… I am self-hosting ubiquitys unifi network application.

Apparently two years ago they split out the database from the app.

I had no idea until my wifi abruptly stopped working. Haha

Now I pay attention to that stuff a little more.

Lmao

Good luck getting that sorted!

Haha I had a much harder time with the compose formatting than I did with the actual upgrade.

Line

Or

Line.?

Either way fuck you compose. Haha

I’m super basic backup wise.

I run a rsync command that backs up the database dump and all the immich assets to a USB hdd. I do that every couple of days or when I think about it haha

I then back that USB drive up to another USB drive on my personal computer.

These drives are wd Reds and in USB enclosure.

My buddy has offered to host a off site backup but I have a toddler and as such 0 time.

I probably should look into some cold storage or something but shits expensive these days and I’m currently satisfied with where I am.

Knocks on wood

Additional context… I’m running Debian with mergerfs across like 8 drives. So my photos are spread across several drives in my /storage/photos folder. So In oder to lose everything all at once. It would have to be a flood or house fire or something…

I just moved from v2 immich to v3.

Literally changed the version in my env file and then deleted all docker images.

I then pulled all images and brought all containers online.

0 issues.

Immich has been running really well for us on my n100 for 10 months now. I did dual Google photos and immich for a 3 months and then exported out from gphotos.

I started 2026 with immich only. Been rock solid the entire time.

You’re welcome!

Good luck in your journey!

It’s not overly.

I used “perfect media server 2017” the first time I set up a mass storage server for Plex.

perfectmediaserver.com

My setup is a lot different now… but dude laid out some step by step instructions. And apparently has continued to evolve his setup over time

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate the link!

Oh great! I’ll check it out!

Great! Thanks a ton! I appreciate the link and the info!

Wireguard is stupid easy.

I run a docker container using docker compose. Put in my bits of info on the compose file…

Launch the container and scan a QR code with my phone app.

Done.

Openvpn was out to door when I saw how easy wireguard is

Quick question. Home assistant.

We are hooked on “Hey Google turn off the lights”

Is there a way to remove the Google from that but still use the voice aspect?

Plexamp is pretty great. It’s my streaming music player of choice.

After gpm shit the bed… I vowed to never have another streaming music service.

Plexamp it is.
