I've searched around and can't find this but it seems like someone must have created this already. I am hoping to find a self-hosted image resizer app. I frequently need to take photos from my phone (etc...) and make them small enough to post online.

For instance, my lemmy instance (lemm.ee) only allows images in posts if they are smaller than 500KB but my phone's photos are always larger than that.

In a perfect world, I could just browse to a local server app, upload an image, select a size to resize it to, hit Go and then download the smaller image. It doesn't have to allow any other editing and it shouldn't store images long-term. I want to self-host so I don't have to upload my images to random web sites I know nothing about.

I would be happy with a FOSS desktop app I can install in linux too, but then I couldn't access it from my phone. The Android apps I found for this either look scammy or include tons

I have Immich Server Version: v1.115.0. They're up to v1.129.0. I am guessing there have been lots of breaking changes in that range, since that was true the last time I updated.

Is there a safe way now to update without making me read all the release notes and carefully craft my docker compose file in multiple steps to make sure I don't lose anything in the process of getting caught up?

Thanks for any tips.

ETA: Or just, how do you handle your Immich (in Docker) updates in general?

2ND EDIT: I did read the release notes. After a lot of reading, there was 1 change (updating their internal Port # for the main service to 2283) It's done. Thanks y'all. My cats appreciate you all.

I tried for several days to host lemmy 0.17.4 using the docker install instructions, but I was less than successful. The instructions seemed to be riddled with mistakes and and the docker-compose.yml file had some errors. I eventually mostly got it up and running, but I could never access the site through the nginx container. I had to add the lemmy-ui to the external network and expose 80 and 443, and then I could access the UI. But it seemed that the UI was unable to communicate with the DB. And I had to comment out all of the loggers in docker-compose.yml, because I they were giving me errors.

Anyway, I thought I would give it another shot now that 0.18 has been released and the instructions have been updated. It seems to be much better! I was able to almost get it up and running on my first try. However, there is one error. The nginx container failed to start. There is a file it is trying to mount, but the file doesn't exist. And the instructions don't seem to say anything about cr
