To access Immich from other devices via network, add the following as well:

{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|3=services.immich.host = "0.0.0.0";

services.immich.openFirewall = true;}}

More options are available: {{nixos:option|services.immich.}}

== Tips and Tricks ==

=== Custom Media Location ===

While the official Immich documentation recommends modifying <code>UPLOAD_LOCATION</code> environmental variable for Docker build, NixOS does not support modifying it. Instead, {{nixos:option|services.immich.mediaLocation}} may be used, which simply sets [https://docs.immich.app/install/environment-variables/　<code>IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION</code>] variable, while this is not recommended in the official documentation:

{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|3=services.immich.mediaLocation = "/var/lib/immich";

}}

{{warning|If you have used Immich before, changing this option will completely stop Immich service, disabling access from browser. You may need to reset / remove Postgresql database.}}

{{info|If you only need to change the location where raw data is stored, [https://docs.immich.app/guides/external-library/ External Libraries] may be used.}}

=== Enabling Hardware Accelerated Video Transcoding ===

Following Immichs [https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/ backup docs] and [https://immich.app/docs/guides/template-backup-script backup script] an automated backup using [[Borg backup]] could look something like this:

{{File|3=services.borgbackup.jobs."Immich" = {

paths = ~~"/var/lib/~~immich";

paths = config.services.immich.mediaLocation;

repo = "<path-to-borg-repo>";

startAt = "Sat 04:00";
