I just installed immich. It’s awesome!

Are you on the LAN when accessing the WAN IP? If so, that is allowed. Try to connect outside your network and I suspect it will fail

Yeah. SVN’s ability to do that is not experimental. I’m hoping that they make that feature much easier

One thing I like about SVN that, at least in the past, was not easy with Git is checking out sub directories.

One thing I do is check out svn+ssh://svn/home/svn/configs/server/etc and copy the .svn file over to /etc so that I can check in changes from the actual directory on my servers at home. I never found a good way to do that on Git. But, admittedly, I haven’t looked in a couple years.

I have had some problems doing what you’re trying to do. Replacing the variable with a function would work.

rmdec() { sed ‘s/…$//’; }

It depends on the VPN. Sometimes there’s a “block local network access” while connected. It could be a client setting or a server setting. Additionally, VPNs are all about routing. So you could run into a problem if you connect to a VPN where the remote network is the same as the IP address of the server you’re trying to connect to.

So if it is that you’re having a conflict between the remote and local networks overlapping, you could change the IP addresses on your local network. It’s probably a good idea not to use the default subnet that your router gives you (like 10.0.0.0 or 192.168.0.0 or 192.168.1.0).
