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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

If I read this correctly, Immich is setup entirely through Ansible, no docker compose. That's fine, however if Immich changes something drastically in their setup topology, it'll be more work for you to implement those changes. For services that use docker compose, you could use Ansible to deploy a compose file in a dir, say
/opt/immich-dockeralong with its requisite.envand other files. Then setup running it via systemd. Then when you need to update it, it's almost copy-paste from the upstream compose file into your Ansible repo.Heck, you could do a pre-stage play where you delegate to localhost an
ansible.builtin.get_urlto download the compose file before doing the rest.I wouldn't do that because I'd be inevitably picking up breaking changes without my knowledge that I'd have to fix after the fact. Unless you're pulling from a tag I guess. Still storing along the playbook feels more robust. It's less likely to get any surprises. Also I'm working under the assumption that you want to write idempotent code so you don't get breakage when your rerun it, which allows to run it on a schedule, to ensure your config doesn't drift too much.
