So I’m self hosting Immich in docker with Immich frame. I’m running Immich frame on a raspberry pi 4 in chromium (full screen on an 7” touch screen frame) and it works great, until it seems to randomly close chromium. If I reopen chromium it says do I want to restore tab, when I do it just pulls up my Immich frame IP and works like normal again. I am going to look through my docker logs today after work but has anyone else run into this issue before? It is pretty random and it’s been working for a week straight and then randomly the pi will just be on the home screen instead of full screen chromium.
Running a chromium based browser with only 2GB of RAM is ill advised.
randomly the pi will just be on the home screen instead of full screen chromium.
Sounds a bit like the system running out of RAM and killing off Chromium.
- system specs?
- OS?
- do you monitor your system continually?
- does Immich itself show any signs of failure? Because reconnect on browser reopen sounds like it keeps working. OR it restarts automatically, but that shouldn’t kill Chromium.
It’s a 2gb pi 4 running latest pi version trixie.
Immich and Immich frame are on docker on my HL15 server. Immich itself isn’t going down. I need to check logs for Immich frame.
Is there a way to make chromium not eat through all the ram? Or maybe I should just try Firefox on the pi?
Ah, apparently I misread, I thought Immich was running on the same Pi.
You could try another browser, but you’ll still have to check other possible sources. RAM usage, system log, etc.
If the browser crashes, it’s a client side problem. Check the client system logs.
