I set up Immich on a spare mini PC running Linux Mint with a spare external HDD to store the library. Used Docker compose as recommended on the website. Everything was working great last night. Then this morning I decided to move the mini PC to a more permanent location. I powered down and moved it. When everything restarted though I discovered that I was unable to c9nnect to the immich server. I went onto the mini PC and the local host and all it says is, “connection was reset.” I have tried restarting docker from terminal several times and it says the immich services are running. I still cannot connect to the server though. What can I do to fix this?
Maybe the IP address changes? You should provide some more info.
Terminal outputs etc
This is my guess. Always set static in the device and in your router settings.
don’t do this, use DHCP reservations instead so you actually have a list of all your servers and most routers register hostnames in DNS for you which is even better.
Confused what you mean.? I have a range of IPs for my servers and such IE 192.168.2.2-12. And then the DHCP pool 192.168.2.13-xxx. I set the servers IP static on its OS. And then set a static in my routers settings for the same IP I set in the OS. What is it that I would be doing incorrect in this setup?
Instead of doing a manual action in two different places and having to keep them in sync, just do it once on the DHCP server. Setting a static IP on the server is superfluous.
