Buck

I know SQL and I can pull some faraway memories of PHP to create a web interface (or Python, but I’ve only ever used it for data analysis)

But it’s a far cry between using something off the shelf and developing something from scratch, especially when on company time when it’s not supposed to be your job (and you’ll be told to use the shitty existing tools instead of taking the time necessary to create something custom).

As for Excel, sure it’s an option, but there’s also data conflicts and overwritten version and all those pesky things.

It’s not as bad as others, but not having access to the survey view is a downer for usability.

…

Plus the fact that I can’t seem to successfully deploy the v2.1.6 docker image…

I have no VPS but a home server and Uptime Kuma can’t help me if it’s down. So I just set up healthchecks.io + Pushover via a cron job that runs on the server and I can confirm that it works! Tested yesterday after a citywide blackout 😵‍💫

Simply the fact of having 70+ users. There’s also the number of records, but that may be a non issue (for now).

I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this, especially for advanced search, everything else is quite basic, indeed.

I love the fact that your example of a “small-ish” homelab is way more overpowered than mine. Because my entire 40+ containers homelab runs off of a 13 yo NUC with a 10+ yo HDD and a (new!) SSD plugged into it. I regularly want to replace it by a more recent NUC but… there is not good reason, yet.

I don’t know what up with your Immich instance but this seems like a lot of RAM usage for me. I have 45 docker containers, including Immich, running on a 10 yo NUC with 8 GB of RAM and that’s not an issue…
