From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Could I automate the upgrades?

With good backups, rollbacks in case of issues should be trivial.

Yup, watchtower will auto update docker containers for you.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it!

You can, just put latest as the version. That's what I do for most other stuff. HOWEVER immich sometimes has breaking changes, so doing this is dangerous, I've broken my install twice because of it, and decided to switch to manual version and check the changelog, it's less work than using latest and fixing when things break.

There has been about 3 times where auto updating has broken immich for me. But I just go read the docs and there has always been notes on what you need to do to get it working again. 5 mins later its back up and running.
