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?
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.
