  • Can you ELI5, where is immich-go installed? On my new Immich server (unraid), on my Synology? On an intermediate device?

    Shouldn’t matter, as long as the device running immich-go can access your photos (locally or over a network share) and the web api of your immich instance.

    Madness it would be best to put Immich on my Synology for the transfer, then move to Unraid?

    I don’t see how this would be easier as it later adds an extra step, where you have to move immich from your Synology to Unraid. However, if you have to deal with a slow or unreliable network between those two hosts, it could make sense.

    I’m trying to change 2 things - moving photos from Synology Photos to Immich and also moving the while operation from Synology to Unraid, but maybe it’s a 2 step process?

    Yes, do yourself a favour and split these tasks. Migrate your photos to immich first, shut down Synology Photos and test that everything works as expected, then go on with your remaining migration to Unraid.















  • Check the permissions/owner of the authorized_keys file. I’m not at home right now to give you the path to it, but I have had a similar problem after I add a new ssh key to my gitea/forgejo account. It turned out that in doing so, sometimes the permissions change and gitea/forgejo then refuses to use the file. You should see warnings about this in the logs.

    In my case the problem is probably rooted within the uid/gid thats used inside the container and/or the nfs mount I use for the container volume. I never bothered to get to the bottom of it though.



  • I’m thinking about just doing something outside kubernetes that just copies the data from the directory that NFS provides to another storage.

    This is what I’m doing for the most part. A TrueNAS server provides the NFS shares and periodically backs them up with restic.

    Some apps don’t like NFS very much, especially those that require SQLite. If you’re running Jellyfin over NFS you probably know what I mean. For those apps I use Ceph instead, which is highly available and a lot faster but also more complicated. Those PVCs I backup from within kubernetes to S3 storage with velero.
