Pretty much using for your family and not for a photo sharing app for everybody is how Immich was built…
Comment on Photo management - storing friends' photos
Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 15 hours agoThats nice but I wish it had E2E encryption.
I don't like that I can see everyone's photos that use my immich server.
Not that I'd look, but I can if I wanted to, and that's why I only use my server for family

I commented elsewhere here, but E2E encryption is just between the server and the end user (ie a VPN)
You’re thinking about encryption at rest, on the storage.
Immich would have to setup a whole new design to be able to store all the metadata on a per-user basis… but… you could have multiple Immich instances if you were to host it for your friends, but I think we’re drifting into “why bother” now…
