I know we had posts like this before, but Immich deserves 👏
One more update, one less container, the best Google Photos alternative, its just amazing!!
Don’t forget to edit your docker-compose before updating

But it’s not that difficult to dedicate Docker compose file for an “immich project” and use exactly as developer suggests. You are not like going to have 100+ users, more like 1-10 users and even RPI would be enough. It’s not an issue to have small database along immich project on the same host.
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…
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.
