Do you think it would be doable to make/host a tileserver that only generates the first few zoom levels for the whole planet by default, and is able to generate tiles for more detailed zoom levels only for specific locations ? I'm thinking of a feature where Immich asks the tile server to generate the appropriate tiles based on the locations of photos. Since we only ever zoom on locations where photos have been taken, and we often take several photos at the same locations, could this decrease the requirements enough for self-hosting ?
Thanks for the detailed feedback. According to one Immich dev, they used to use OSM's raster tile provider but switched away from it since they were causing too much load on OSM's servers.
There does not seem to be any non-commercial vector-tile provider at the moment (though OSM seems to be currently working on it), and it seems really overkill to try and self-host a tile provider (at least with the default level of details). Maybe the way is to find a balanced level of details that makes it reasonable to self host
Quoting one dev from the conversation I had on Discord :
the one run by OSM is not intended for general purpose use because that results in way too much load on their system. We used to use theirs, but as Immich grew we decided that we should relieve them of that
I guess you (and they) are talking about raster tiles, since OSM does not seem to provide vector tiles
When I mentionned that "I can confirm it is not realistic to self-host a tile provider", it's because I tried to run maptiler : it maxed out my CPU for 2 hours before my disk got filled while trying to generate the tiles from OSM data (and it was just for France)
Edit : Anyway, I don't think this should be in Immich's scope. Simply providing an easy option to switch tile providers would allow people motivated enough to host maptiler to use it
I followed the setup guide, did everything in the DKIM, DMARC and SPF documentation page. The initial setup required more involvement from me than your standard docker-compose self-hosting deployment, but I got no issues at all (for now, fingers crossed) after the initial setup : I never missed any inbound e-mails, and my outbound e-mails have not been rejected by any spam filter yet.
However, I agree with everyone else that you should not self-host an important contact address without proper redundancy/recovery mechanism in case anything goes wrong.
You should also understand that self-hosting an email address means you should never let your domain expire to prevent someone from receiving emails sent to you by registering your expired domain. This means you should probably not use a self-hosted e-mail to register any account on services that may outlive your self-hosted setup because e-mail is frequently used to send password reset links.
I will definetly look into this. I've been using tube archivist for a while now, but it eats so much RAM (especially the Elastic search dependency IIRC)!
I prefer the CLI as well, but when I'm not a dev I supervise practical works in programming classes, where I don't have much saying in the recommended/required tools
I don't remember exactly, but the issue is about the existence of a button that makes beginners think a commit and a push are part of the same atomic operation. Not the order of the words on this button
The worst thing about eclipse I've had to deal with is its git integration. The conflict resolution tool is awful and half the terminology diverges from plain git.
The fact that it has a "Push & Commit" button also drives me mad far more than it should
As usual, I subscribed for the giggles and I keep getting dragged into unsolicited rabbit holes of useful knowledge. Thanks for being an awesome community
This has existed since at least 2018 according to their Twitter, and is related to crypto currencies through its Radworks DAO
Edit : I'm not saying OP themselves is a shill. Radicle did a pretty goog job at hiding its cryptocurrency ties. They even renamed their token from Radicle to Radworks a few years ago. It seems like cryptobros are adapting to the fact that being related to cryptocurrencies hinders adoption among technical people.
I admit they hid it pretty well, but look again. Radworks, the entity behind Radicle, is a DAO, which makes anything they do related to cryptocurrencies
I was under the impression that there was some kind of consensus around rust being one of the safest languages to use. However, I've seen comments about rust being bad pop up in a few threads lately but they never explain why they think so.
