From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Still requires docker?
If you're using Arch, the AUR package works well
I'm fully aware of the joy of containers, but I just don't want all that extra faff
Extra faff?
The additional software required to run it in a container plus its configuration, on top of Immich's configuration.
Just install & configure Immich, done.
Thats.. Just.. Docker compose.. You copy, paste, docker-compose up and you're done..
Or...
install immichDone.
No need to map internal & external ports, wrestle with permissions (or... good grief, run the container as root!), etc, etc.
It's just... less faff.
Plus I save all that additional disk space, not having to install docker! 😉
Don't get me wrong; Containers, chroot jails, Type-1 & Type-2 hypervisors all had their place in the history of my systems, I just don't see it as a necessity.
I see. I still prefer docker for the semplicity tho.
