Sufficient backup setup for Immich

Hi all! I have after quite some tinkering managed to setup Immich in parallel with Synology Photos. I have all photos/videos on a 3x4TB SHR1 on my DS423+. I take weekly backups to two external USB-drives that I switch and one always stored in my office (every 3rd month or so). Also I have snapshots running daily. I am comfortable with the above and my question is about the Immich setup below: Immich is installed on a single nvme 0.5TB and are accessing the photos on the HDDs as a read only external library. The setup is with docker (Container manager). All uploads to my photo folder are done via Synology Photos. Immich is just for "browsing/searching/albums". I take nightly backups of the

AMD VAAPI encoding fails during software-decode fallback due to missing format=nv12 filter

### I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report. - [x] Yes ### The bug When using AMD GPU (Radeon 780M) for hardware acceleration, hardware encoding crashes if the source video requires software decoding (e.g., an older MPEG4 codec video). When Immich falls back to software decoding and attempts hardware encoding, it passes the yuv420p pixel format directly to the h264_vaapi encoder. The AMD Mesa driver rejects yuv420p and requires nv12, resulting in an invalid VASurfaceID error and crashing the transcoding task before it ultimately falls back to pure CPU transcoding. ### The OS that Immich Server is running on Unraid 7.2.4 ##

Backup stuck at ~40%. Many users reporting this problem in forums since mid-2025. Basically, the app tries uploading a file, sees that there is already a file on the server with this name, then just stops trying to backup any files altogether.

The primary purpose of a backup is to restore data from it. However, in practice, Immich is horrible at restoring photos to your phone. Consider this scenario: you purchase a new iPhone and use your own Immich server to back up your old iPhone’s photos. You want some of those photos on your new iPhone, so you open the Immich app, connect it to your new phone, and press the download button on a few photos to create a wallpaper on your new iPhone. Surprisingly, the app is coded so poorly that it doesn’t exclude the photos you restored or downloaded from Immich to your new phone. As a result, you end up with duplicates on the Immich server when the auto-backup begins from your new iPhone. It on

&#x200B; Hey, complete noob here, I've been reading, watching videos, and lurking in these subs to try to learn. I've come up with a plan and just want to make sure it at least kind of makes sense to people who know what they're doing. The last part of hardware is coming in the mail on Monday, and then the build will start. Based on reviews and guides, and the fact that it's GUI friendly I'm planning to use UnRaid and run everything in it's own docker. I want to run jellyfin, immich, navidrome, deluge plus the usual arr stack to help automate some things in the future. For the storage set up: 2x 500gb sata ssd in mirror for app data 2tb gen 3 nvme for ingest, immich, navidrome 1

Hi folks, I built **Borg UI**, a **self-hosted** **web** **interface** for **BorgBackup** to manage **backups**, **restores**, and **scheduling** without the CLI. I had been using **BorgBackup** via **command line** for a while to create backups of my Immich library (self-hosted photo management tool). It felt very tedious to continuously monitor and maintain, especially via SSH. Since I already run everything in Docker, I decided to **build a web UI** to simplify the workflow. **It runs as a Docker container (no config needed) and includes:** * Backups and restores with visual scheduling * Live progress tracking with notifications * Archive browsing like regular folders * Built-in SSH k

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on buying a mini PC for my homelab/server setup. Right now I have a Synology DS218+, but I’ve decided to keep it as a NAS / media only. I plan to move all my current Docker containers from the Synology to a dedicated mini PC. At the moment I’m running: * Audiobookshelf * Calibre * Calibre-Web * Lubelogger * Home Assistant * Home Assistant plugins (OTBR and Matter) * Mealie * MeTube * Pi-hole * one of my apps * Plex * Socket Proxy * Speedtest * Transmission * Vikunja The most important services for me are probably Pi-hole, Plex, and Audiobookshelf.

I can't believe I didn't find it sooner, hosting my own "cloud" photo server has really solved photos filling up my phone storage, and I don't have to pay a subscription and send my photos to someone else. Just a reminder for everyone tho, if you're using Immich to store your photos and save space on your phone, make sure you fully back up your server!

best host OS for basic NAS usage + docker containers for a few extra things on top?

Almost done getting together the parts for my first non-synology NAS and wondering what OS I should run on it. I want basic NAS storage/file safety and will be hooking up to it via wireguard (and maybe later tailscale if i want other folks to have access), but other than that I think it'd be fun to start learning docker by being able to use docker containers and whatnot. Is it a good idea to use docker to run stuff like immich and pterodactyl for minecraft servers? or are there better systems for this sort of stuff. What's the best OS for this?

adding more internal storage
themes: NAS and deployment · rating: · relevance: 1
Noob question, and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask!! I have 2 ssd and one hdd, and want to add more hdds to my setup, but I lack the physical space in my pc to put them inside. Plan is to run TrueNAS VM on a proxmox and passthrough the HDDs, and use immich or any other self hosting software. I checked some docking solution and found that USB protocol isn't the most stable one as it can frequently disconnect, I would rather not buy something like a Synology or QNAP NAS due to my living conditions (temporary in foreign country and dont want the hassle to move the NAS device) Any recommendations on how can I proceed? Thanks

I only have been using this for a week since switching from Google Photos and other similar services to a self hosted NAS. Phenomenal use case and having the ownership feeling of having your photos hosted and not rely on anyone else is awesome. Also the speed and quality of viewing the photos is a big change from cloud services where the photos are loaded in high quality rather than having to buffer.

I have had my pictures syncing to iCloud for YEARS, 10,000 total files for Immich to upload. Hours later ive gotten 200 and my phone is hot as hell. The phone has taken provisions it got so hot. My photos app says “iCloud sync paused, phone needs to cool down” Edit: Upped to 4 stars because setting the network/address management to prioritize LAN traffic when available works near flawlessly. I did reset the client app sqlite database, relogged, and restarted backup to kill any cache that mightve been breaking my upload as well

The app looks beautiful! The main feature seems to be hit or miss. Some photos videos upload while others do nothing when I click the upload button. Totally worth 5 stars if that feature would just work. I understand it takes time to develop this to work well for everyone. Thank you devs for what you have done so far. Look forward to future updates. Update: I believe the issue I described only happens with photos/videos that are part of a family shared folder. It would be nice if there was at least some helpful errors or maybe a disclaimer. Also the icon on the photos I already uploaded for backup seems to always show us not backed up.

This is my first custom/homebuilt/DIY NAS and im coming from just having using my synology NAS with photos and drive for basic file backups. I'll be learning a lot about how this all works from the ground up for the first time and it should be fun, but I gotta actually finish the build first. I'm looking mainly for part suggestions to finish the build (being a motherboard+GPU combo, possibly some fans if needed, and any other stuff that i should probably get that i dont have like cooling or whatever), but I'm very open to software suggestions if there's fun stuff to setup. Would probably be neat if it was upgradable, but i'm likely not going to try and spend much upgrading this thing outside

Hi all- love this sub. And I'm now exactly a full year into my life as a Synology NAS user (DS423+). I've been super happy with Synology, I love the DSM, app suites, and overall experience, so I feel pretty good about staying with Synology vs another brand (UGreen, etc) and I'm ok paying a bit of premium. That out of the way, I wanted to get some eyes on my network topology and NAS requirements/hopes that I have for this upgrade to see if I am missing anything. Or if there is a better way to do things. **Main use of NAS:** * NAS RAID for all of my photos (Nikon RAW, older Canon RAW, and Jpeg).
