Highlights

Welcome to the first Immich release of 2024, v1.92.0. This release is packed with features, bug fixes, and improvements. Let’s dive into some of the highlights of this release.

[BREAKING CHANGE] The welcome message for your instance is now moved to the Server Setting in the Settings section in the Administration page on the web

Hardening storage template move operation: verify files are copied correctly when operating across filesystem boundaries

External domain setting: allow the usage of a different domain for shared links

Native hash calculation on iOS: significantly speeds up the initial hash calculation

Introduce Onboarding flow for new instances: Show the admin common settings of the instance for a better user experience.

CLI version 2.0.6 was released on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@immich/cli

Search is now working across the partner’s assets.

0.19 is a major update for Lemmy!

Big changes:

• Instance blocking for users: You can block the posts of users of any instance from showing in your feed.

• New Sort - Scaled: boosts smaller communities

• Better 2FA: actually tests your 2FA before applying, so you won't get locked out. If you had 2FA before, it'll be reset.

• User data export/import: change instances easily!

• Lots of performance and background changes.

Well borked some things during the upgrade that required going back to the backup. But we got there eventually. I will have to mess some more with Ansible to bring it in line with my current deployment so future upgrades go a bit more smoothly.

If you were logged in, you'll have to log in again. If you had 2FA set up, you don't anymore and will have to redo it.

We were down for heh, 2.5 hours. Any activity on the Fediverse in that time won't have synced to our instance. However if anyone votes or replies to that comment it will sync. So we shouldn't miss anything worthwhile :P

This instance is funded primarily out of my own pocket with no return whatsoever. The costs aren't too high (~$250/yr) but community donations are always very appreciated. At the moment, we're about 10% community funded. Either way, The Lemmy Club isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Well I'm just about fed up with streaming bullshit. I currently have a home server that's just a raspberry pi4 with a bunch of docker containers and it served my light usage well.

But with transcoding on Jellyfin I'll be needing some more power. And a bunch of storage. So wanting to perhaps build a new little server.

CPU requirements aren't high at all. Need to transcode maybe 2 concurrent 4K streams, A cheap discrete GPU or a CPU with a decent enough iGPU could handle this. Other applications are basically negligible, like Vaultwarden and PiHole, torrent, using as a general file storage server.

I also recently acquired a mini PC which is plenty powerful, but doesn't have any way of adding a bunch of drives. So another option is setting up a pure NAS and just using the mini PC as the server. It's got an i7 10700T and iris 630 iGPU.

I've been using Linux and self hosting basic things for years, but I'm pretty new to this level of hardware and little experience with RAID.

Budget: ~$500ish - storage goal: 12+ TB

This shit is vile.

We're up and running now, 30 minutes behind schedule.

I had added 1TB of storage to the server, but it turned out to be too slow and impacted performance hugely.

I was able to get 25GB extra NVMe storage for $7/mo, which should be enough to hold us for a couple months at the rate the DB has been growing. But that's just a bandaid. I like our current hosting provider but I will most likely have to find a new one as HostHatch doesn't have many options for larger SSD storage at prices we can afford. Good news I suppose, in addition to additional storage we also have 2 extra CPU cores and 6GB more RAM (22GB). Of course we don't really need those, but nice to have in any case.

In the meantime, I'll speak to their support team to see if they have any non-standard upgrade options or else research other providers.

We've run out of space for the database! I've found a solution without increasing our costs too much ($5/mo), though the storage will be slower. I don't anticipate it affecting real world performance at this scale.

This was the cause of the outage earlier today. Backups are suspended until tomorrow to keep free space to keep running.

Additionally, the photo server database was corrupted by the free space running out, a backup had to be deployed and so any photos uploaded after 11am November 7th 2023 (US East) will have been lost.

I don't anticipate this taking more than about an hour, follow along at https://status.thelemmy.club
