What programming/technical projects have you been working on?
This is a recurring post to discuss programming or other technical projects that we've been working on. Tell us about one of your recent projects, either at work or personal projects. What's interesting about it? Are you having trouble with anything?
My home server upgrades are finally done! For anyone who hasn't been following along, I'd been slowly working on expanding my home server's capacity after I realized my simple 4TB RAID array was almost full. I bought 2x12TB WD Ultrastar drives and more RAM. After some hiccups, I finally got everything installed and running late last week. I did a quick migration of my data with rsync and everything's working just fine now.
I've also set up Immich on my server. I've long wanted to move away from Google Photos so my family can stop paying for Google One (since everyone else in my family uses Apple iCloud instead). Instead of moving to another big tech cloud platform, I wanted my own cloud so as part of my server upgrades I also set up Immich. I reused my existing 4TB drives, putting them in a ZFS pool this time and migrated the ~100GB of images/videos I had on Google Photos. So far it's working great! I'm going to keep both platforms running for maybe the next 6 months to ensure that Immich works just as well as GPhotos for me and then I'll eventually migrate off it completely.
The main wall I ran into with immich is I use cloudflare to host a domain and have the proxy turned on, which unfortunately means that large files cannot be uploaded unless I directly connect, as apparently cloudflare limits file sizes and immich doesn't do chunking.
