Claude 6f8a703004 Fix Homebox OIDC invalid_scope error by allowing per-client extra scopes
_authelia_provision_oidc_client() hardcoded openid/profile/email as the
only scopes a registered client could ever request, but Homebox's own
Authelia integration needs 'groups' too — requesting it without it being
in the client's own scopes allowlist made Authelia reject every login
with invalid_scope, even though the server supports 'groups' generally.

Add an EXTRA_SCOPES positional arg (space-separated, right after
REQUIRE_PKCE) that only Homebox's caller populates ("groups"); every
other existing caller passes "" and gets a byte-for-byte unchanged
client registration.

# services/immich.sh — Self-hosted photo & video backup (like Google Photos).
# Part of the modular post-install system (sourced by setup.sh).
#
# Can also be run standalone on any machine:
# sudo bash immich.sh
# (Docker must already be installed when run standalone)
#
# Ported from ubuntu-post-install-24.04-crowdsec.sh (# ---- IMMICH ----).
# Multi-container stack: immich-server + machine-learning + valkey + postgres.
# Two library strategies:
# 1) Unified — Immich manages all photos in one place (import-photos.sh helps)
# 2) External — Immich indexes your existing folder read-only; new uploads separate

# Offers to wire Immich's own native OAuth support to Authelia — real
# server-side automation, not just paste-in instructions, unlike
# Audiobookshelf/Beszel below (neither exposes a config API; Immich does).
# Confirmed against docs.mealie.io's sibling page for Immich
# (docs.immich.app/administration/oauth) and, since that page doesn't
# document the underlying API, against Immich's own config-file.md and
# GitHub source directly for the exact JSON field names under the "oauth"
# key — not guessed. GET/PUT /api/system-config exchanges the WHOLE config
# object (there's no partial-patch endpoint), so this only ever touches the
# "oauth" sub-object and round-trips everything else completely unchanged
# — the same GET-modify-PUT shape already proven in this file for the
# storage-template step in import-photos.sh (search CURRENT_CONFIG above).
#
# Unlike Mealie/ActualBudget/Gitea, Immich's admin account isn't created by
# this installer — the user creates it themselves on first web visit (see
# "First launch" in the generated README) — so there's no API key to call
# with at the moment a FRESH install finishes. This is deliberately called
# from both the fresh-install path (where it'll usually just tell you to
# come back later) and the "update" rerun path (the realistic way most
# people actually complete this, once they have an account), same as
# _mealie_offer_authelia_oidc's own "works from either" design.

# Immich Photo Import Script — generated by ubuntu-post-install
#
# Imports your existing photo collection into Immich with EXIF date preservation.
# Photos are uploaded through the API so Immich extracts metadata (dates, GPS,
# camera info) from the originals.
#
# What this script does:
# 1. Creates admin account (if first run) or logs in
# 2. Generates an API key automatically
# 3. Configures the storage template (date-based organization)
# 4. Installs the Immich CLI (if needed)
# 5. Uploads all photos with EXIF metadata preserved
#
# Usage:
# ./import-photos.sh # interactive (prompts for everything)
# ./import-photos.sh <api-key> # skip account setup, use existing key

This is a separate, fully isolated instance (own server, own dedicated

## S3 object storage
Thumbnails, encoded video, and new uploads live in \`$S3_BUCKET\`
(this is Immich's native \`IMMICH_STORAGE_ENGINE=s3\`, talking to the S3 API
directly — **not** a FUSE-mounted bucket). Don't try to switch this to a
\`rclone mount\`/s3fs-style setup instead: Immich uses symlinks internally
that S3 doesn't support under FUSE (ENOSYS errors), and its startup alone
does thousands of stat()/read() calls that FUSE-over-network handles badly —
this has been reported to crash the mount under latency spikes as small as
100ms. The native S3 engine avoids both problems entirely.
$( [ -n "$EXTERNAL_LIBRARY" ] && echo "An external library is unaffected by this — it's a separate read-only mount (\`$EXTERNAL_LIBRARY\`) regardless of where Immich's own managed data lives." )
Credentials and bucket config are in \`.env\` (\`S3_*\` vars, \`chmod 600\`).
Changing them requires recreating the container:
\`\`\`bash
docker compose up -d --force-recreate immich-server
\`\`\`
S3MD
)
## Manage
\`\`\`bash
cd $IMMICH_DIR
docker compose up -d # start all containers
docker compose down # stop
docker compose logs -f # logs
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d # update
\`\`\`
## First launch
1. Open http://localhost:${WEB_PORT} and create your admin account.
2. Install the Immich mobile app and point it at \`http://<server-ip>:${WEB_PORT}\`.
3. (External library mode) Go to Admin → External Libraries → Create Library,
set import path to \`/usr/src/app/external\`, and click Scan.
## Import existing photos (unified mode)
\`\`\`bash
./import-photos.sh # interactive
./import-photos.sh <key> # skip login, use existing API key
\`\`\`
## Notes
- Machine learning features (face recognition, CLIP search) require the
\`immich-machine-learning\` container — it pulls a large model on first run.
- The \`.immich\` marker files in the upload subdirs are required by Immich;
do not delete them.
