Get started
Download the Compose file
curl -L -O https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.ymlStart
docker compose up -dWhat it is
Immich is a photo and video library you run on your own server. Native mobile apps back up your camera roll in the background, and a web interface gives you the familiar timeline, albums, map and search.
Why it stands out
It is the closest open source match to the Google Photos experience. Machine-learning features — face clustering, object recognition and searching by description — run locally, so photos never leave your machine. Existing collections can be mounted read-only as external libraries.
Who it is for
Anyone with a home server or NAS who wants their photo archive out of a third-party cloud. Follow the project’s backup guidance: Immich manages your library, it is not a substitute for a backup.
