jails immich appjail

I am following:

Immich Stack on FreeBSD: Native Photo Management using Podman & Jails - daemonless

Deploy the complete Immich photo management stack on FreeBSD natively using Podman and Daemonless. Self-hosted Google Photos alternative with facial recognition and machine learning.

daemonless.io

I had immich running on podman and want to migrate it to a native appjail for perhaps marginally better performance and integration with FreeBSD.

That said, I had to deviate from the configuration because it for whatever reason isn't working and still isn't working for me:

.env:

UPLOAD_LOCATION=/media/immich/app-jail/app_data
DB_DATA_LOCATION=/media/immich/app-jail/postgres
CACHE_LOCATION=/media/immich/app-jail/cache
REDIS_DATA_LOCATION=/media/immich/app-jail/redis
TZ=Etc/UTC
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_PASSWORD=postgres
DB_DATABASE_NAME=immich
DIRECTOR_PROJECT=immich

appjail-director up

I am removing any env variables from appjail-directory.yml because it seems like for whatever reason, they're not being picked up. I suspect that is why provisioning is failing.

I removed all the vars from appjail-director.yml, but am still ending up with

./run.sh
Starting Director (project:immich) ...
Destroying database (immich_postgres) ... Done.
Creating immich-machine-learning (immich_machine_learning) ... FAIL!

I think the next steps are to add debug logging to the python scripts. There isn't much for me to see and debug.

add debug logging to the python scripts

Learn to use pdb. Don't have to add anything to the code itself, just python3 -m pdb mypython.py will invoke it. Set breakpoints at interesting spots, have it break, then check the contents of various variables and structures to see if it all matches up. Single step through interesting code to see if it does what it's supposed to do.
