I know we had posts like this before, but Immich deserves 👏

One more update, one less container, the best Google Photos alternative, its just amazing!!

Don’t forget to edit your docker-compose before updating

    But it’s not that difficult to dedicate Docker compose file for an “immich project” and use exactly as developer suggests. You are not like going to have 100+ users, more like 1-10 users and even RPI would be enough. It’s not an issue to have small database along immich project on the same host.

        Think this way: postgress db is just part of immich. That’s it - separate your services into logical units.

        That’s actually makes more sense to do at home lab. Bringing down your main DB breaks a lot of your services. By separating - only part would be broken.

        My postgress db lives in the same docker compose file where immich is. If I decide to delete immich - it’s very simple to run “docker compose down” and delete folders. :)

      Though if you have something better than a Pi that would be ideal. Then it can do nice things like face detection, object detection for search, and transcoding.
