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?
The challenge here is that the host is Unraid, which publishes its own interface on 80/443. My reverse proxy is of course handling all requests for my sites, but that is ALSO running on a container, and must be listening on something other than 80/443 when using host or bridge networking.
So, if I’m following along correctly, I would need to put my reverse proxy on a different host (bare metal or VM) in order for it to listen on 80/443.
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 :)
