  • When you do it for work, you log what you have changed each time you make a change to try to fix it, and you log what you revert, so you can keep track of what you have tried, what worked, and what didn’t and have a clearer idea of what the solution was.

    Sometimes it really does take a while to nail down though, and sometimes it isn’t entirely clear why what worked worked. Especially if you’re a junior network engineer without as much experience.








  • Trump is going to be in charge of two of the longest US government shutdowns in history by a long shot. The fact that we can’t just kick all the bums out and replace them when this kind of shit happens is a travesty.

    I’m betting this will at least be a two month long shutdown if not indefinite shutdown because the Republicans want to break government so badly they’re just willing to keep it shutdown at this point.

    “We broke the government, which proves government doesn’t work, which is why you need to trust us (the people who broke it) to save you from government” has been their whole shtick my entire fucking life.


  • Immich is a more touchy beast because it includes a mobile app and the mobile app and the docker container need to generally be either the same version, or within a few versions of one another. There was a while where I forgot to update the server for a while and the mobile app kept being updated on my phone and stopped backing up photos because it could no longer communicate with the server.

    I don’t expose services to the outside world either, but I still enjoy keeping things up to date. Gives me something to do.


  • In the docker folder with the docker-compose.yml of whatever docker container you want to upgrade:

    docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

    As others have said, for large groups of containers it’s helpful to use Watchtower.

    Immich in particular warns to backup your database before an upgrade. Also be on the lookout for breaking changes which require you to alter your docker-compose.yml file before an upgrade.

    Oh and after upgrades to remove any dangling images which sometimes take up a lot of space:

    docker image prune

    Also if you want services to be interoperable, learn about docker networking now not later and remember for static IPs you must create a user defined bridge.
