Why does my Docker Compose on Mac mini need frequent restarts?

Asked By TechWiz74 On

I've recently switched from a dying Linux server to using my Mac mini (m4) as a home server. I've set up Immich along with Nginx Proxy Manager, and everything runs smoothly, but I've noticed that after a couple of days, Immich becomes sluggish and unresponsive. Restarting just the Immich container doesn't help; I have to restart Docker entirely to get things back on track. I've already disabled power management settings to keep the Mac awake. Is there anything else I can adjust or explore to resolve this issue?

Have you taken a look at the logs? They might give you some clues about what's going wrong.

I noticed that you're using Docker Desktop. For running persistent services, it might be worth considering using an ARM64 Linux VM on your Mac instead. Docker Desktop isn't exactly the best for production workloads.

Yeah, Docker Desktop is mainly for development and testing. If you're aiming for something more stable in the long run, installing the Docker daemon directly on a Linux setup would be a better way to go.
