Oh I didn’t catch that part, that’s even better than how I understood it, thanks so much for clarifying!

This is very cool but all the machines I would use this on are headless with no GUI installed. Womp womp for me.

When you do it for work, you log what you have changed each time you make a change to try to fix it, and you log what you revert, so you can keep track of what you have tried, what worked, and what didn’t and have a clearer idea of what the solution was.

Sometimes it really does take a while to nail down though, and sometimes it isn’t entirely clear why what worked worked. Especially if you’re a junior network engineer without as much experience.

That’s the way to do it, smart planning. I’m glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.

I only wish I had money to get in before prices bump up. 😭

Being poor sucks.

I had never heard of this so went looking. Super useful stuff here!

Immich is a more touchy beast because it includes a mobile app and the mobile app and the docker container need to generally be either the same version, or within a few versions of one another. There was a while where I forgot to update the server for a while and the mobile app kept being updated on my phone and stopped backing up photos because it could no longer communicate with the server.

I don’t expose services to the outside world either, but I still enjoy keeping things up to date. Gives me something to do.

In the docker folder with the docker-compose.yml of whatever docker container you want to upgrade:

docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

As others have said, for large groups of containers it’s helpful to use Watchtower.

Immich in particular warns to backup your database before an upgrade. Also be on the lookout for breaking changes which require you to alter your docker-compose.yml file before an upgrade.

Oh and after upgrades to remove any dangling images which sometimes take up a lot of space:

docker image prune

Also if you want services to be interoperable, learn about docker networking now not later and remember for static IPs you must create a user defined bridge.

This is the internet, maybe build it yourself instead of demanding others do the work for you?

You could also just as easily only paste in the encoded part and put the decoded bit back into the link yourself.

Sucks to suck, Windows.

I use it just for myself mostly to look at my listening habits. When I was younger I used last.fm to find new artists and talk to people who had similar interests and took their suggestions. These days its just to keep a log of my music listening.

Also, I have noticed a pattern of listening to less music for myself and being a lot more deferential to my partners when I am in a relationship over when I am single. This year is 20 years since I started using last.fm and part of my goal this year is to listen to more music than I have listened to yearly over the past 20 years. 2005 was my highest listening year ever, and while I’m not on pace to break that record, I’m on place to come close to it and shatter every other year in between.

Anyway, that’s just a me thing, it’s helped me feel like myself again, re-embracing really enjoying music in a way I have not over the past 16 years of being with two different partners (one for 2 years, another for 13 years). It’s like a celebration of 20 years of loving music and coming back into my own and becoming more me again, and less codependent on others and letting them drive the music.

What about actually self hosting on a local server? When I think self-hosted I don’t imagine having to go to someone else’s website.

Edit: nvm, found the GitHub

I’m just used to a “getting started” link taking me to… How to install it.

You’re gonna break my OCD brain.

Recently set up a Maloja container and a Multi-scrobbler container so I can finally ditch last.fm!

No, the graphics from Intel back in 07-10 were crap.

What are you using graphics on a server for instead of just CLI?

You just can’t buy too old or the inverse happens and the performance per watt drops. I think you’re right that 2012 is about the cutoff. Maybe 2007 for certain items, like my 2007 iMac. But if you’re getting back to the Pentium 4 era you’ve gone too far and need to turn back around.

Hell yuh.

Have you set up certificates with LetsEncrypt or something similar?

Since you’re running it on your own hardware and obviously have admin privileges, you could try out Certbot:

https://certbot.eff.org/

HTTPS requires signed certificates to be able to connect, that’s part of the trust provided in the security. Also, HTTPS is port 443 while HTTP is port 80.

Lookin pretty slick, I dig it.

Did you 3D print the rackmounts or is there a place to get smallish ones like this?

I haven’t messed with it yet, but ddclient works with a lot of domain registrars.

ddclient even suggest these as alternatives:
