Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Installed it because of this thread to my homelab today. I never really managed my phone images in any way, never uploaded them anywhere. This was the first time. About 5 gigabytes of images and videos were synced to my NAS in a few minutes, now I can search them and all that. It's a pretty cool setup, although the installation is a bit tricky if you don't go to the path they give you. I run a Postgres server in Proxmox, and you have to install just the right version of pgvecto.rs for the system to work.
Browsing the issues I was able to figure out what went wrong, and after downgrading, no issues.
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.
It just doesn't feel right to have multiple postgres databases running, if every other service uses the one in the network. Having already monitoring, disk space and backups set...
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. :)
