Umbrel

Using Umbrel

Installing UmbrelOS in VM

Using OracleVM, set up a new machine as usual. You will need to manually select Linux and Oracle Linux (64-bit) and also be sure to Enable EFI.

After installing the medium to the disk the machine will turn off. Change the boot order ot only include the hard disk. Go to storage and click on the installation disk. There is an option to eject the disk on the far right.

You can then navigate to umbrel.local in the browser.

Where does app data reside

The app data resides in /home/umbrewl/umbrel/app-data.

So immich is located in /home/umbrewl/umbrel/app-data/immich for example and in this directory you can see the docker-compose.yml file and the data directory which has the persisted database and assets upload library.

Mounting a SMB network drive.

If you want to map a NAS to store your immich assets, you can mount your network drive.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install cifs-utils
sudo mkdir /mnt/smb_share
sudo mount -t cifs //server_ip/share /mnt/smb_share -o username=your_username,password=your_password
