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.

Is it possible to use Immich without Docker?

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

surely. check the file named Dockerfile in their git repo, it basically holds the installation instructions.

There's no reason there wouldn't be a possibility. Maybe more effort, but simply duplicate what it does. Or launch in Docker and analyze how it's done, then reproduce.

If they’re like me, I get the why.

When I started out, docker just seemed like more of a complication. I wanted to just run things on the local system without having to learn something else.

Docker makes it nice in that there are no dependencies conflicts and things just work. Plus, removal is easy an leaves no trace.

When I first learned about docker I was sure it was a scam. It sounded too good to be true. It's literally the meme it only works on my computer so we'll ship your computer!

It's awesome! And still feels like magic!

I run it with Yunohost.
