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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Jellyfin Server has a flatpak (and other packing formats too) version that you can easily install without docker directly on your PC. Would it make sense for Immich to do the same? In my mind it would be super useful, I could sync my photos when my PC is on and when is off rely on my local photos only since my main goal is having a backup of them.

Am I crazy or it makes sense?

A podman quadlet would be a great way to manage the Immich container.

Keep in mind your system will already have the plumbing for podman. So it's not as bad if you're averse to using docker.

It'd be managed as a systemd unit. IMO its a better method than flatpak.
