v1.124.0
Highlights
Happy New Year, and welcome to the release v1.124.0 of Immich. After a long break, we are back! Along with many new contributors. This release adds many enhancements and bug fix...
High performance self-hosted photo and video management solution
I would consider docker very easy to use and well worth exploring. The benefit of Docker is that it runs exactly the same on any system, no matter what the underlying OS is.
Here’s how difficult it was to set up Immich:
Download a docker-compose.yml file, which describes the options for the Immich server.
It would be the exact opposite if it wasn’t using docker, it requires specific minor versions of multiple software, people on Debian would always get versions too old while people on arch too new
Lol docker is literally the easiest and most user-friendly server program administration method… It is literally one user-readable configuration file and everything is automatic.
Vm’s are more complicated and have you even tried managing many services on bare metal with conflicting libraries, database versions, etc…? That is truly arcane arts of programming scripts.
I think you got docker mixed with something else, since docker does the exact opposite, i.e. allows you run services without all of the arcane shit involved. Just put the compose file in a folder and run docker compose up -d and you’re done, whereas the alternative would be to install a database, configure it, install the immich service, connect it to the database, write a service file for both database and service to allow it to be auto-started, and face multiple issues due to missing dependencies or permissions.
Absolutely, and in most cases (while one shouldn’t rely on this since escaping a docker container is sometimes doable) even if there is a security breach the invader would be limited to the service image, which would get recreated upon restart.
Same here. I just installed Proxmox on an old machine, then Coolify, boom… Docker ready without the knowledge. There’s a ton of apps one click away, immich included.
What else would you want to run it on?
It’s only ever gonna be incredibly niche if it requires some arcane programmer shit to run.
I want to use it but getting into docker is silly.

lol docker ain’t that.

Edit: of course one can also fuck up security with a container
