Can someone guide me to either an install youtube video or ACCURATE instructions on installing Immich on Fedora 44?
I have seen some info about just using docker others say podman?
Please help ???
Immich by default uses a Docker compose file. Most Docker commands translate directly from docker to podman. But I don’t know if that works for docker compose, too, I started my container journey with quadlets and pods and never bothered with docker compose.
Immich works just fine with Podman as a container management engine. I run it on Fedora CoreOS, with four .container quadlets under a .pod quadlet (and an additional Caddy reverse proxy that handles TLS/Let’s Encrypt). Absolutely no issues. The setup is mostly just adapted from the compose file, with some specifics like passing the DB password into the Immich container as a Podman secret. But it is more elaborate than just calling docker compose.
However, I would recommend only self-hosting it if you have intermediate knowledge of Linux and containers. Also keep in mind the question of backups when self-hosting.
Setting up Immich is on my todo list…
Inspired by your question I did a bit of web searching and came across this post. Immich in Podman instead of Docker — spengy.net
I have not tested the instructions, but it look like a good starting point that I plan to use.
