This thing changes versions faster than I can update my homelab… Lol.
This looks a lot more complicated that Watchtower. Is this something different or add other functionality?
I’m not familiar with Watchtower, I assume it will restart the container/stack if a new image is found. The biggest difference is that an edit to the git repo causing the container to be redeployed. This means the git repo becomes the source of truth and its possible to redeploy even when config changes get merged.
I’ve been running this setup for a few months now and haven’t looked back. Works super well, and essentially acts as an approval process for letting a container update or not.
The author also recently added a followup article to this one for using Forgejo instead, made migrating the setup super easy.
Why this complicated setup? Komodo handles auto update by itself. It also update the whole stack at once, so no shutdown of the BD while the app stays up. Just have 2 checkboxes to tick.
The less stuff the better, it’s essential in case you have a failure. I only have to redeploy komodo, then all my stacks will be ready to get back online. I even removed watchtower.
I’m finally migrating from iCloud Photos to Immich next weekend. I finally have my NAS setup going
Can you please let us know how the transition went after a few weeks? I’m also considering the same but I’m also content with Apple Photos features like live photos etc.
I transitioned from Google photos to immich about a year ago:
-
face recognition is absurdly much better
-
searching for images is some black magic stuff
-
it’s generally faster
-
it’s map is really slow
-
Live Photos works in Immich.
One thing I really like about Apple photos is the memories that it suggests.
Immich also suggests photos. It works great under iOS.
Every day that I don’t switch, immich keeps getting better!
oh fuck me i missed the 2.0;-)
I mean, if you’re offering….
Has anyone be able to get memories to work. I don’t get any notifications. I probably don’t understand how that works. Any pointers except the official documentation will be helpful.
Notifications? It doesn’t give you notifications. It just shows it at the top in the main interface (if there are any).
Still crutching on containers?
I hated them too at first, but that’s because I didn’t understand them and they were new and scary.
They’re still a little scary but, after having a dependency issue on another Linux box, I get the purpose of docker a little bit better now.
Here’s a helpful primer:

Your kubernetes seems a bit unstable.
Kubernetes in a nutshell
that ship is still floating and theres no containers in the water. seems good to me
