I’ve got Immich working great on Unraid, but if I’m on my network I can’t really use it. Just fails to resolve the dns. I looked it up and it’s that my router doesn’t support hairpin or something. It’s a Aginet hb810. I found a workaround in the Immich client where you can add a second entry that’s network specific, but it doesn’t seem to work very reliably.
What are my options?
I’m not too familiar with unraid but from a little research I just did it seems like you’re right. That does seem like a really unfortunate design decision on their part, although it seems like the unraid fans defend it. Obviously, I guess I cannot be an unraid fan, and I probably can’t help you in that case. If it were me, I would try to move unraid to its own port (like all the other services) and install a proxy I control onto port 443 in its place, and treat it like any other service. But I have no idea if that is possible or practical in unraid. I do make opinionated choices and my opinion is that unraid is wrong here. Oh well.
Totally fair… I appreciate you engaging with me, your perspective is appreciated! I won’t defend Unraid’s choice when it comes to the UI ports, but I will simply say that there are things that are really nice about Unraid from a usability standpoint.
Thanks again for your thoughts!
Convenience is great until it becomes inconvenient. But that’s a journey we all make :)
