Immich 2.1 self-hosted photo and video management solution refines slideshow shuffling, adds album notifications, and polishes performance across platforms.
Translation: “I run immich in a virtual machine, which I can manage from a web browser. The photos themselves are stored on a different device which gets backed up to a remote location twice a day.”
So why run immich in a virtual machine instead of in, say, a docker? Wouldn’t that be way less overhead? (Or is immich the only thing you’re hosting?)
I have a docker VM with a gpu passed through/external access (if this called production?) and another docker VM on another machine with no passthrough/external access. So both VMs are running multiple stacks/services and i just assign based on use case. Storage and memory are cheap imo and it’s the most secure way to do it with the skill level i have so it’s how i run it. I’m sure there’s better ways but 🤷♂️
