I think you're missing an important aspect to containers and that is being able to easily define your infrastructure as code.

That makes server migrations a breeze

Headless. It's all running fine in the background. For now...

I don't run as root because I've always been told I shouldn't. I don't know enough about anything to be contradicting stuff like this. It has always seemed weird to me that we don't run as root and then just sudo everything, though.

What is the reason we don't run as root?

I'm aware that presidents are allowed to do what they like now, as long as it's "official". I'm not aware of what republicans are saying biden isn't allowed to do, though. Can someone please fill me in?

Pure, unapologetic sleaze. If that's your thing, you should check it out

I have no issue writing a compose file. Dockge offers a bit more than that with logs and buttons for common commands which makes it easier and quicker to manage than through SSH.

To each their own 🙂

This is pretty much my situation. "Away from home" for me isn't just a trip to the shops, it means being away for weeks at a time. I need to be able to fix things remotely if needed.

I've seen people recommend SSH, which seems worse because that would give potential hackers access to the whole system.

VPN is a very good suggestion, and what I've implemented now. Thank you to everyone who contributed

Just tried their demo, and they aren't kidding about it being lightweight. Its super fast!

I don't know what hydrogen is, and none of my search terms return anything useful. Would you mind explaining what it is?

There was a 4???

It's really weird. I think there are somehow two database volumes on my system.

The reason I think this is because:

1. I am the only user
2. there is only one user in the user table
3. there are two folders in the upload folders. Both have a uuid as their name and one of the uuids matches with the user id in the database
4. the user_token table has tokens no tokens from before this happened to me a couple days ago

So, where did this other user come from? Why have none of my log ins been tracked in the database before the incident?

That's correct. Ubuntu is basically just a platform to run docker, haven't really touched it. Docker is the same. Just using it to run my containers. Haven't ventured at all into /var/lib/docker

The weird thing is that it's intermittent. It's only happened twice since I started using immich. I've been restarting the containers repeatedly for a few days now and it hasnt happened again.
