Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Which isn't a great idea with all the breaking changes. I'd assume it gets better after v2, but still.
Your comment is spreading false information. With the stable release the Immich team has committed to no breaking changes except for major version upgrades, so if you pin to 2.x.x you will be perfectly fine
That's what I thought, but last time I looked I only saw a "release" tag, no "v2" tag. Did I miss something?
I automate my upgrades, but I also automate my backups, and monitoring.
If an upgrade breaks something, my health monitor lets me know and I can roll back to the previous day.
This is the way
What tools do you use for the monitoring, backup and rollback?
I use rsync to backup, I can delete and restore the whole drive if i want at any time.
I use watchtower to keep things updated. If you schedule the rsync and watchtower correctly, you can get the backup done before the upgrade and there's basically no lost data with the rollback.
I use uptime Kuma for monitoring, and it shoots me an email with details on what failed.
OpenMediaVault does this as well if you use the built in Docker system. I have it set to back up containers every Sunday at 1 am, at which time it pulls any new images. You can set the number of backups to retain and roll back if there are any issues.
I’ve been doing this in my kubernetes cluster since immich was less than v1.49.0 (that’s the earliest I can find but it’s been over 4 years).
Your comment could have been more constructive: something like “this is really cool, just be sure you don’t auto merge PRs without reading the patch notes. Learn about the process before you roll this out to your mission critical systems!”
This is a learning opportunity (possibly even for you). Show others how to do things well and the whole community can benefit.
You sound condescending af.

Hey everyone has a learning opportunity. Some even have a separate production system!
Did you learn anything?
