Problems setting up the new Immich module

Help
1

I’m trying to set up the new Immich module but so far my config doesn’t work.

{
  containers.immich = {
    autoStart = true;
    bindMounts = {
      "/var/lib/immich" = {
        hostPath = "/mnt/sdb1/photos";
        isReadOnly = false;
      };
    };

    config =
      { pkgs, ... }:
      {
        services = {
          immich = {
            enable = true;
            host = "immich.***.ts.net";
          };

          tailscale = {
            enable = true;
            useRoutingFeatures = "server";
            interfaceName = "userspace-networking";
          };
        };

        system.stateVersion = "24.05";
      };
  };
}

As you can see, I have it in a container and I use Tailscale.

I ran tailscale serve --bg 3001. I was wondering why this module uses port 3001 instead of 2283 like the official implementation?

I also ran journalctl -xeu postgresql:

Aren’t my containers separated from each other? What do I need to do to fix this?

You might need to set privateNetwork to true

If this option is not set, then the container shares the network interfaces of the host, and can bind to any port on any interface.

3

How do I gain access to the internet afterwards?

4

Another solution: change services.postgresql.settings.port on the container. It isn’t open on the firewall by default and immich connects by unix socket by default so it shouldn’t break

5

You probably need NAT for that, see Container networking.

This didn’t work:

Hmm, maybe change the db port in immich settings too

Did that. Also 5432 is the default port and I changed both settings to 5435.
