We don't just learn how to selfhost, we learn also a lot of nice Linux tips and tricks. Much appreciated!

Exactly

Thank you so much for all your work, I build up my NAS based on all information and following the steps that you show on your videos. Do you have any suggestion or plan to create a video for a Photo management? Like, to check for duplicates and if is possible automatically upload the photos from my phone to my NAS

[@somedaysoon33]

Thank you for commenting! Yeah, I use immich for this, it's a great project. I also use syncthing to transfer other files to my NAS too. But if you only care about photos than immich has you covered and it has a lot of great features. If you look into immich I'd recommend checking on the monolithic docker container because it's the easiest to setup in my opinion. If you just search for that, "immich monolithic docker" you should be able to find it. I plan on making videos on all these and more of my favorite services. Thanks for watching!

@@somedaysoon33 thank you so much for your reply. I will give a shot

[@tuliogrin]

@@somedaysoon33 Once again thank you for all your help, I don't know if that could be a good content for your channel or if your are already thinking to do it. I installed the immich on my NAS server, but probably I am missing some basic settings, like, my immich isn't seem my photos from OMV (DataPool). Let me know if you will record something like it.

[@somedaysoon33]

@@tuliogrin Hi! Yeah, I will be doing a video on immich but it will be a few videos away as I'm trying to make videos in a logical order for beginners. I don't have much to go on, but it sounds like you need to pass through your OMV filesystem where you want to save the pictures to the container with a volume bind mount... I might be able to help you more on telegram if you need it.

[@tuliogrin]

@@somedaysoon33 Sweet. I will give a pause on this project for now, and wait for your further videos. My first soon will arrive soon this month, so. Once that get back to the "routine" I will resume it :D. Thank you so much though for all your help.

I setup the docker compose file and started docker, but the web interface doesnt appear. Do I need to setup firewall rules or something else? Thanks

[@somedaysoon33]

Does your container stay up and running or does it exit? I would firstly check and verify your port and that it matches the site root variable. And if it isn't that then you might have to drop into the logs and see what kind of error it is generating.

[@carlrudner]

I had the same issue, figured out that the user i created for docker didn't have permissions to the folder. Just double check you omv user permissions and should be fine.

[@Franceyou]

should I put real email address and password in the docker compose? Thanks

[@somedaysoon33]

You can but you don't have to, it's just going to be what you use to login. I just make up [e-mail] because I don't actually do the notifications through email but through telegram with smtp_to_telegram
