Do we need to deploy multiple instances if we want different people/albums per display?

Let's say for different display's I want the kiosk to pick from different albums and people. Given that these are part of the server config's I assume this means for different displays if the selection is going to be different then I should just start up additional containers. From the client end I cannot send query arguments that select which people/album's it should query.

I think the answer is yes, but i thought I would confirm.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about your client. Are you able to input a url?

You do not have to have multiple containers/instances. You can use url queries to override the base config. You can also use redirects.

So lets say I have 2 Frameo devices and on each I want to show images from different albums. After I setup ImmichFrame on it how would I go about selecting which album they can query. I guess this is what I would need to https://docs.immichkiosk.app/configuration/url-params/

I guess my last question would be, if I want to send multiple album's in the URL query do I add multiple album args to the URL or specify a comma separated list? Also thanks for the redirects option, that will be very helpful :).

You can add multiple album queries e.g. https://KIOSK_URL?album=ALBUM_ID&album=ALBUM_ID same goes for people ?person=PERSON_ID&person=....

I personally would (and do) use redirects as you can add the above urls to the config but then navigate/add a friendlier URL.

Yup that was my plan as well, just wanted to confirm the syntax :).
