One more update, one less container, the best Google Photos alternative, its just amazing!!

Don’t forget to edit your docker-compose before updating

    It just doesn’t feel right to have multiple postgres databases running, if every other service uses the one in the network. Having already monitoring, disk space and backups set…

      Think this way: postgress db is just part of immich. That’s it - separate your services into logical units.

      That’s actually makes more sense to do at home lab. Bringing down your main DB breaks a lot of your services. By separating - only part would be broken.

      My postgress db lives in the same docker compose file where immich is. If I decide to delete immich - it’s very simple to run “docker compose down” and delete folders. :)

      Ask yourself what your “job” in the homelab should be: do you want to manage what apps are available or do you want to be a DB admin? Because if you are sharing DB-containers between multiple applications, then you’ve basically signed up to checking the release notes of each release of each involved app closely to check for changes like this.

      Treating “immich+postgres+redis+…” as a single unit that you deploy and upgrade together makes everything simpler at the (probably small) cost of requiring some more resources. But even on a 4GB-ram RPi that’s unlikely to become the primary issue soon.
