  • In your docker-compose.yaml you need to add in your directory if you haven’t already

    services:
      immich-server:
        volumes:
          # Do not edit the next line. If you want to change the media storage location on your system, edit the value of UPLOAD_LOCATION in the .env file
          - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
          - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    +     # Add NAS pictures and videos folders to use as External Libraries
    +     - "/volume1/data/ Pictures:/usr/src/app/library/pictures"
    

    Then in immich you need to add this as an external library. Click your profile icon -> administration -> external library -> create library. It will ask for a path and you need to use the library mount point within docker which was /usr/src/app/library/pictures from my example. Click add path

    That should get you good to go


  • I used umami cloud (free tier) on my personal site for 6-12 months and can recommend it. I ultimately decided to switch to just a simple counter for visits and likes because that’s all i care about and i don’t like collecting more information than i “need”. Now my website has no other tracking/analytics and the entire site still works even if Javascript is disabled.

    For a business if you’re wanting a Google analytics alternative then umami does a great job. Self hosted option available as well.

    To your initial question, if you’d actually use the data then i would recommend some form of privacy respecting analytics on your business site though. Since you seem privacy conscious i just wouldn’t put more analytics on your website than you’d personally be ok with as an end user






  • what you use for your documentation

    Hugo (markdown) files that i host on my internal server.

    how you organize it

    I use basic directory structure. Top level directories are like “dev”, “home”, “general”. Self hosting is a dev/ subdir.

    what information you include

    Depends on how familiar i am with it and how often I’ll be referencing it. Something i know well or access often will be more high level. Things like an annual process i have documented in more detail

    how you work documentation into your changes/tinkering flow

    My site has an “edit this page” feature which i use to open my IDE and make the change as I’m doing things. Sometimes I’ll be lazy and just add in what i did this time and then let future me reconcile the differences 🙃
