Oh thanks for the heads up

I installed MagicMirror onto a Raspberry Pi using a pre-made Magic Mirror OS image (can't remember where I got that, but I think it's relatively "official", so maybe their website? It comes ready to go with Docker and everything you need set up.

Then I installed this https://github.com/pelaxa/MMM-ImmichSlideShow and configured it.

~~I actually found some additional configuration options by going back in the chain to the project it's based on (linked at the top of the readme). Their documentation included some additional stuff that actually works with MMM-ImmichSlideShow.~~ Edit: Looking at my config again, and all the stuff is in the MM-ImmichSlideShow documentation now. Maybe they updated it.

Then I hooked up an old monitor, put it in vertical mode, and that's it.

It was actually kind of difficult to figure out how to get the display to work in vertical mode. A lot of old forum posts are the "old" way of doing it. I ended up making a cronjob that runs 60 seconds after boot and runs some command that rotates the display. ~~I'll dig it up if you need me to, but since MMM-ImmichSlideShow is still broken it's not turned on right now so I can't check it.~~ Here's the line from my crontab to rotate the display: @reboot sleep 60 && DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right

Aha, that must be it. The photo in question is 6.7MB

I'm able to save a trail without any photos, but if I try to add a photo it lets me select the photo, but saving the trail gives a toast notification in the bottom right that says "Error saving trail." The web, db, and search logs don't show any errors.

Mine was having some weird problem with docker, I think it must be a docker bug. Basically it put the Wanderer stuff at the very bottom of the routes (running "sudo route" on Debian lists the routes). The last entry in the routes table needs to be eth0 or the equivalent so that stuff can loop back to the beginning of the list. At least that's my understanding.

So anyway, to get around that bug/limitation I had to create a static docker network which I called "wanderer-static" using docker network create --attachable -d bridge --subnet 172.28.0.0/16 --gateway 172.28.0.1 wanderer-static. Choose a subnet that's not being used already.

Then in the docker compose file, point everything at that network by:

Removing

 networks:
   wanderer:
     driver: bridge

Adding

networks:
  wanderer-static:
    external: true

And finally, pointing each service to that network. Under each service you should have:

    networks:
      - wanderer-static

I also had to update the ORIGIN and whatever else to http://wanderer-static:7000, etc.

Immich is the only thing I run where I check the change log before doing any sort of update. It's worth it, though. Great software.

This update broke my janky little raspberry pi "photo frame" which uses MagicMirror and a plugin. I probably just need to rename a port in the plugin or something (or wait for an update).

Looks cool. I have it up and running with the docker compose provided. Every time I try to create a user it says "Error creating user", and the logs say [ERROR] [23:30:00]: Login failed. Unable to obtain cookie.

Edit: I got it working, just had to updated some of the network stuff in the docker compose. The networking in Portainer is a bit "complex".

I can't get photos to work. Oh well.

Linux ISO is slang for pirated content. They were clearly joking. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Linux+ISO

A "joke" often references material that is related, but not the same.

I think they were joking.

I wouldn't say so. Digital rights, online privacy, etc. apply to everyone, not just people sharing files on the internet.

Interesting choice.
