  • The purpose of most of these apps is to be able to use them on multiple devices. If I had immich entirely running on my phone (this is not actually feasible regardless) how do i access my images from my computer.

    Also many people have multiple users. A family could have all their images on one immich server and be able to share images with each other easily.

    On jellyfin for example, I can play any of my media on someone elses TV as long as they have Chromecast. Not possible if its all just kept locally in a folder on a computer




  • Android app doesn’t have file search last I checked (pro feature).

    No full text search on app or website (pro feature)

    The app will just randomly stop being able to connect to the database. I use docker and mariadb. It will just fail for no reason. Restarting the docker stack doesn’t fix it. I use the redeploy button on portainer to get it working again. I use lots of databases in many docker apps, nothing else does this.

    I want to change to owncloud OCIS





  • Others have already answered but this might help understand.

    On cloudflare DNS, I set my domain to point to external IP address my ISP gives me for my router. Ie example.com points to 107.474.274.12

    Within my network, my internal DNS (pi hole) is set to point to the internal IP address of my server. Ie example.com points to 192.168.1.23

    Note that in the first example, the router has port forwarding so that all https traffic (port 443) is forwarded to the internal IP of my server, 192.168.1.23. I’m both example, the traffic ends up in the same place but the route it takes depends on if the traffic starts inside my network (example 2) or outside of the internet (example 1).



  • Just as an FYI its done like this because its vastly faster than flat files.

    This is also the reason why NextCloud has lots of complaints about speed and files getting locked and not syncing properly.

    Apps that are way faster (seafile, owncloud GO) use proprietary file stores.

    Obsidian Live sync works extremely well and quickly to the point that the update speed is almost like a google docs with multiple editors. Couchdb is why.


  • Lol at the obsidian criticisms in the self hosted community :)

    Couchdb is like 20 years old and not exactly ‘novel’

    I setup a docker for his like 2 years ago and did nothing other than update once in that time. Live sync has otherwise been rock solid on multiple devices.

    Obsidian not being open source is very valid criticism. The above 2 things really aren’t.
