My immich videos play fast enough when local

or connecting to tailscale

#

from anywhere

#

except when using reverse proxy domain

#

past yacht except when using reverse proxy domain

they are really slow

#

I am available to VC inorder to help fix this issue

feral onyx Oct 27, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

What is 100.67? Is this tailscale?

#

You shouldn’t be pointing your proxy to a Tailscale IP

#

Also if you’re using CloudFlare proxy (orange cloud on) or tunnels you should turn that off as that can impact speed

past yacht Oct 27, 2024, 5:10 PM

feral onyx What is 100.67? Is this tailscale?

Yes I changed it to 127.0.0.1 (localhost ip now)

I am not using cloudflare tunnels

#

I am happy to show my cloudflare settings on vc

as its just a bit too many to take picture of

Tunnels is not the same as proxy

#

We don’t do voice chat here

past yacht Oct 27, 2024, 5:11 PM

I can screenshare

#

maybe no talk then

U mean the dns only and proxy setting

#

I have a 4 core intel n100 with 16 gb ram mini pc

These are my immich settings for video transcoding

Please post a screenshot of your CloudFlare DNS entries

I got better nginx custom config now aswell but its still slow a bit

#

location / {
# Proxy configuration using available Nginx Proxy Manager variables
proxy_pass $forward_scheme://$server:$port;

# Basic headers for forwarding
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

# Disable caching headers to improve streaming performance
add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
add_header Pragma no-cache;

# Disable buffering for better live streaming performance
proxy_buffering off;

#client_max_body_size 500000M;
}

Its from chatGPT

chatgpt sucks at reverse proxy. It created a horribly wrong setup with nginx and certbot lmao

I switched from Nginx Proxy manager to nginx

#

it was fairly easy

#

do you guys have some good settings for video transcoding

#

on low end hardware

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

past yacht on low end hardware

I am running it on n100 cpu

tropic nest Oct 30, 2024, 10:55 PM

#

past yacht do you guys have some good settings for video transcoding

the default should work

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 10:55 PM

#

tropic nest the default should work

its pretty slow

#

for me

#

when using from the web

#

local and the vpn connect is pretty good

#

but not from nginx rverse proxy

tropic nest Oct 30, 2024, 10:56 PM

#

video transcoding isn't run on demand so it doesn't matter I believe

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 10:58 PM

#

tropic nest video transcoding isn't run on demand so it doesn't matter I believe

I am sending you my transcoding settings

#

#

#

#

#

I want it to use maximum efficiency when playing videos

#

also somehow I am getting server offline unknown when using reverse proxy

#

and online when using vpn or direct

tropic nest Oct 30, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

past yacht also somehow I am getting server offline unknown when using reverse proxy

you need to enable websocket

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

how

#

I dont know how to in nginx

#

I saw websocket option in nginx proxy manager but I dont use it now

tropic nest Oct 30, 2024, 11:11 PM

#

past yacht I saw websocket option in nginx proxy manager but I dont use it now

enable it 🙂

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 11:11 PM

#

tropic nest enable it 🙂

but I use nginx now

#

just spent yesterday of my life converting lol

#

nginx is not easy to use

#

atleast for me who came from a gui base

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 11:12 PM

for reverse proxy

#

I still have the same thing

#

#

nothing about websockets in here though

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 11:14 PM

#

past yacht

I am using this as my current config

#

do you recommend better https version like 1.3 or something in cloudflare too increase video streaming

feral onyx Oct 30, 2024, 11:16 PM

#

the 4 lines after #enable websockets are for websockets 🙂

#

are you using cloudflare proxy..?

#

your nginx says server_name public_url ...?

#

you haven't configured the nginx settings at all

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 11:32 PM

feral onyx are you using cloudflare proxy..?

yes

past yacht Oct 30, 2024, 11:32 PM

I got it from template not from my conf file

feral onyx Oct 31, 2024, 1:57 AM

#

Ok the issue could be related to cloudflare as well then

#

So its hard for us to help you

past yacht Oct 31, 2024, 1:58 AM

#

I kept it to dns only

#

now

#

its working better than before

#

only thing is it is smooth for a bit at start

#

but takes time to load afterwards

Wireless. If youre using ethernet your server is not using wifi..

feral onyx Oct 31, 2024, 2:05 AM

Which is good because wifi is bad for a server

#

Still, 27 is quite slow

past yacht Oct 31, 2024, 2:05 AM

that speed is on my computer not on server

To stream video better you need better internet I am afraid

feral onyx Oct 31, 2024, 2:06 AM

#

I understand but immich cannot make magic to have videos move faster than your internet

past yacht Oct 31, 2024, 2:07 AM

are there any better immich settings

feral onyx Oct 31, 2024, 2:07 AM

You might want to pick a lower video quality encoding setting and re run the jobs

I did

check the posts before

I have posted pictures

of settings

on server

with lan

or ethernet (whatever you call it)

feral onyx Oct 31, 2024, 2:08 AM

You can try setting a max bitrate in addition to the resoution

past yacht Oct 31, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

feral onyx You can try setting a max bitrate in addition to the resoution

what is that

feral onyx Oct 31, 2024, 2:08 AM

#

Maybe 5000k max.

#

To make the files smaller

#

Maybe even 2500

past yacht Oct 31, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

let me try

feral onyx Oct 31, 2024, 2:09 AM

#

but i want to tell you that your internet is *very slow and your pings are also really bad

#

I would say minimum 100/100 internet with good pings is best for self hosting when you are outside home

#

so unfortunately it may not get much better

past yacht Oct 31, 2024, 2:10 AM

#

ok
