Having multiple strange issues since installing Immich

[-C-]

I followed this YouTube video to install Immich-

 

Used the docker apps from the standard Unraid Apps page:

• Immich
• Postgres 15
• Redis

 

I configured them as directed, only a minimal amount of config was needed in the Docket templates, but Immich wouldn't start up as it was meant to. I didn't have much time to troubleshoot, so gave up for the day.

 

I found the following day that Nextcloud wouldn't start, and had numerous issues since:

 

1. Nextcloud wasn't available. I found that MariaDB-Official wouldn't start. The solution to getting that running again seemed to be a combination of reverting to an earlier ZFS snapshot, installing the rc version, then multiple directories in the docker were read-only:

   2024-02-27 20:37:36 0 [Warning] Can't create test file '/var/lib/mysql/1dd699d8d500.lower-test' (Errcode: 13 "Permission denied")

   Once I'd chmod 777'd the directories, it started and was OK.

2. Once that was fixed, I was getting this error when trying to load Nextcloud:

   

   To fix that, I had to chmod 777 those directories.

   Following that, Nextcloud would start up, but it's running far slower than it used to.

3. Plex was running fine initially, albeit loading pages slower than usual and the content on its home screen not displaying on first load, but would load after going to another page and then back again. Then a few days ago, it stopped playing files altogether. I got a "Critical: libusb_init failed" in its log. I managed to fix this by doing a "force update" from the Docker page. It pulled some files and worked fine for a few hours. Now today when we tried it again, it's loading pages, but not playing any files, the "Critical: libusb_init failed" error is back, and doing a "force update" isn't pulling files or making any difference.

 

Generally, everything feels slower. I have tried rebooting twice while trying to troubleshoot since this began, each time I got an unclean shutdown.

 

I understand that it could be complete coincidence that things went wrong just around the time that I'd tried to install Immich, and I'm not saying 100% that's what caused any of this, but as far as I'm aware, that's the only thing that I'd touched on the server before these issues started happening.

 

Weirdnesses:

• How did installing 3 Docker apps affect anything else? Isn't the whole point of Docker that it's containerised and messing with an App shouldn't be able to affect anything else? I particularly don't get how the directory permissions in appdata of unrelated Docker apps (MariaDB and Nextcloud) were changed when I'd never had any need to go into those directories.
• Even if it wasn't anything to do with installing Immich, how could those permissions change?
• After I restored from the Mariadb ZFS snapshots, I still had permissions issues. I didn't think this was possible- shouldn't a snapshot restoration put everything back to exactly how it was when the snapshot was taken?
• How was Plex slow, but usable for a few weeks, then required a "force reinstall" to start working, which only worked temporarily and now it won't play media at all?

I also have syslog enabled, so have logs of the whole timespan.
