SOLVED - THANKS EVERYONE
I have been hoping to figure this out by myself and a lot of reading, but so far I've either missed the obvious or something is blocking access. While searching, I've found a lot of threads and GitHub posts with similar issues, but none seem to apply for me, that I could find.
I have installed proxmox and docker etc. Following a couple of videos, initially I had Debian 12, then Nix and now Ubuntu, I get the same error every time.
I cannot access immich from web browser or my phone app. I can access and setup via localhost:2283
I am completely stumped as to where I should now be looking, would love if anyone could help me.
EDIT:
WOW!!! I wasn't expecting fast answers nor as many on Lemmy.
🤯
Thanks everyone for replying. Unfortunately I get the same error with or without /API at the end. I know it's something I'm doing/not doing, but I don't know what. I was hoping to learn by teaching myself as I went along, but this has me stumped.
NEW EDIT:
Thank you everyone. I am able to access the Immich app now. I was using the incorrect IP address. I was using my 'public IP address'. As a few mentioned, I used the command ip a in terminal and it gave me my public IP address, but further down another IP address that I hadn't seen before, and that one worked. beginning with 192.168
Again a huge thanks to everyone, Lemmy here was a great help and I found replies and information a great help. :D I am chuffed to bits, but very tired, and a bit worried about what lays ahead for me with what else I may get stuck on, as that seemed like something I probably should have figured out... But if I didn't know, I couldn't..
Immich is now 'building the timeline' after succesfully logging in, and I am looking forward to learning more tomorrow and hosting other apps. Also checking out the scripts for proxmox.
Goodnight all :)
It could also be a dns issue if the 5 is part of the hostname.
