Or... install immich
Done.
No need to map internal & external ports, wrestle with permissions (or... good grief, run the container as root!), etc, etc.
It's just... less faff.
Plus I save all that additional disk space, not having to install docker! π
Don't get me wrong; Containers, chroot jails, Type-1 & Type-2 hypervisors all had their place in the history of my systems, I just don't see it as a necessity.
The additional software required to run it in a container plus its configuration, on top of Immich's configuration.
Just install & configure Immich, done.
If you're using Arch, the AUR package works well
I'm fully aware of the joy of containers, but I just don't want all that extra faff
I setup a media PC with an SSD for boot / OS and spinning rust for the videos, music, etc.
So, I thought LVM would be a good idea... put the whole lot into a logical pool and then carve out large parts for the media which could be adjusted in the future.
No.
Resizing actually just chops up the drives even more (so, partition fragmentation)
Gparted can't see it, so adjustments are terrible CLI commands
And my favourite system backup tool (clonezilla) cant backup the OS without backing up the entire system.
Depends on your usecase... for a single user laptop, maybe... for a multiuser device or a server... nah.
I prefer partitioning away the user data for all usecases as that will fill up one day, and I don't want that to down the machine.
Agree.
Years ago, I was troubleshooting something (can't remember what) on Ubuntu and realised the package had fixed the bug, but it wasn't in the repos yet.. like months behind.
Looked at Arch with it's up to date repos, moved over and never looked back.
I've reported bugs since, watched the package get updated and seen the improvement on my system... now that's what it should be like.

Just build your own. It's easy. Move on.
Ah, I see what you're asking now.
I have a Hauppauge TV dual-tuner card for terrestrial TV.
Dual tuner so we can watch one thing whilst recording something else, or record 2 things at once.
Myth picks up the card and also uses that for the schedule guide, so we can just set up the scheduler with a TV series or some key-words and leave it to it.
We've not watched live TV for ages and it's weird sitting through adverts now when we're at friends / family
We also have GBs of films and music on the same machine, so it's our central AV device. The Audio is sync'd off to other devices from here rather than having a 2nd NAS for it.
I had a 2nd MythTv frontend on another box in another room for a while and that worked well too.
TV programs...
Similar here.
MythTv + Firefox + VLC - all on Arch
Used to be easier when Myth was in the main repos, now I have to compile from AUR, but it's still ok
Thanks for the TL;DW, I can go about my Arch updates without fear now...
I replaced Nextcloud with syncthing (files) & radicale (calendar, contacts & todos)
No-one used the calendar on NC, they just used their phones, Outlook, etc
No-one used the photo gallery on NC - that's now Immich ... again, with syncthing.
During the early days, just doing an update would break things.
For a small home setup, NC is too big, too clunky and just not the right tool.
