Immich
Immich provides Google Photos-like features: backups, albums, ML tagging, and a great mobile app.
Storage planning
Immich grows fast. Recommended:
- Photo library on NAS:
/mnt/nas/photos/immich/library - Appdata (DB/cache) on fast local SSD if possible
Deployment note
Immich evolves quickly and its official Docker Compose file is the best baseline.
Recommended approach
- Follow Immich’s official compose file
- Map the library folder to your NAS mount
- Keep Postgres + Redis volumes on local SSD if you want better performance
Mobile backup over Tailscale (safe & easy)
- Install Immich mobile app
- Install Tailscale on your phone
- Connect to your tailnet
- Set Immich server URL to your server’s Tailscale IP/name
- Enable automatic backup
