Is this another option for running the app at startup? Do you think it should go in the Readme or somewhere else?

LelandSindt commented 3 days ago

It is another way to automatically start/stop/restart the app on Linux systems, yes.

I would suggest a version of the file be committed to source and the readme updated to reference the file.

The ?only? thing I am not thrilled about was the ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 60 pause... I found that starting without it Immich_Frame would come up before the window manager was fully loaded and it would not go to full screen.

Any thoughts on how I could force the app to full screen?

No, not really (we already force fullscreen on startup). I'm surprised the app starts at all if the window manager is not fully loaded. 60 seconds seems long, what happens with 30?

I might play with the sleep time.. but....

I am having trouble keeping ImmichFrame running. I am using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and it freezes regularly. I think I got it to run a while longer buy increasing swap from the default 200MB to 1GB..

Unfortunately, I don't see anything in the logs after a reboot.

Dig thru some of the closed issues. This has been discussed. I don’t remember specifics but it is a memory issue, and I thought the fix was increasing swap and using a very short imagetransitionduration.
