That sounds like a great solution to my current frustration that the autobackup feature of Immich on iOS is so opaque. It only works when the app is open and even then oftentimes you’re just staring at the backup screen while seemingly nothing is happening, despite Immich’s backlog of thousands of photos still needing to be uploaded.

+1 for ProxMox.

I have that running and it’s pretty easy to work with

It’s a bit strange that when you create a note, you don’t automatically go to the editor.

the app version is also 2.0.0 on iOS, upgraded from the previous version.

So this isn’t a database issue on the server? But one in the app?

Apparently I have a database issue. It tries two photos and both fail with a foreign key error and then the process stops. I had deleted both photos it initially complained about, but then it complained about the next two. I fear I’m going to have to reinstall.

Went into the app’s logs (tap your icon in the upper right corner and choose Logs)

And in my case it’s a database issue:

SqliteException(787): while executing statement, FOREIGN KEY constraint failed, constraint failed (code 787) Causing statement: INSERT INTO “remote_exif_entity” (“asset_id”, “city”, “state”, “country”, “date_time_original”, “description”, “height”, “width”, “exposure_time”, “f_number”, “file_size”, “focal_length”, “latitude”, “longitude”, “iso”, “make”, “model”, “lens”, “orientation”, “time_zone”, “rating”, “projection_type”) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)

(redacted lat/long positions a bit)

I think I’m going to reinstall. This issue is over my paygrade.

Ever since the upgrade to 2.0 I’ve been unable to sync the photos on my phone. “Sync failed, cannot process backup” and I don’t know why.

It’s primarily used for audiobooks. Those need to be stored somewhere.
The podcast feature of Audiobookshelf uses the same structure, so the server downloads the file and the client can then find it and either download it to your local device or stream it from your server.

If you don’t want that, I wouldn’t use Audiobookshelf as an intermediary tool. I’d use Pocket Casts, or antennapod or some such.

I’d much rather choose the book I want to listen to by clicking on the book’s cover than look for it on one of my many harddrives

Bandcamp isn’t what it used to be, apparently there’s a better service for music now, I’m sorry I can’t recall the name.

artcore? https://www.artcore.com/

or formaviva? https://formaviva.com/

(though I still like bandcamp)

Add some redundancy to it.

Find a way to copy my iCloud files to Nextcloud.

Rest in peace!
