Summary
Self-hosted photo/video management (server + ML + Postgres + Valkey), the self-hosted Google-Photos-alternative.
Learnings
- (none yet)
Gotchas
- The DB container is Immich’s own Postgres build (VectorChord + pgvector) — NOT stock postgres; smart search breaks without it.
Hands-on
Homelab — deployed v3.1.0 (spec 0026), nginx-only vhost with websockets + streaming uploads; ML runs CPU-only (GPU belongs to llama-swap).
