I’ve seen Immich mentioned around here before, but I’ve honestly never set up even a real homelab or sever before, so that’s a bit daunting.

I haven’t been in this space for too long either, but immich is what brought me here. I tried it out locally - no deecated server, just spun up immich on my desktop machine to try it out. And it was just so good it made me want to have a server and learn the ropes.

I’d recommend you try it out this way too. We’ll see each other on the other side of that rabbit hole. ;)
