Qué es immich
Descripción editorial construida a partir del repositorio, su documentación y sus señales de mantenimiento.
Immich is a high-performance, self-hosted alternative to Google Photos that provides automatic backup from mobile devices, facial recognition, object detection, location-based browsing, and a modern web interface. The Daemonless stack runs entirely on native FreeBSD without requiring Linux emulation or Docker Desktop. It leverages Podman for container orchestration, offering a lightweight and efficient deployment approach. The solution includes machine learning capabilities for smart search and image classification.
- Automated photo backup from mobile devices to cloud storage
- Facial recognition for identifying family members across photos
- Object detection for content categorization (e.g., pets, sports)
- Location-based browsing with geotagged photo organization
- Smart search using AI-powered image classification and metadata analysis
- Centralized media library management on a FreeBSD system
- Runs natively on FreeBSD without requiring Linux emulation or Docker Desktop
- Uses Podman for container orchestration, providing a lightweight alternative to Kubernetes
- Supports both Node.js and Python-based machine learning services with ONNX Runtime
- Built-in facial recognition and object detection capabilities powered by TensorFlow
- Modern web interface with responsive design and mobile app support
- Open-source community with active development and regular releases
- Requires FreeBSD 15.0 or later with Podman installed, which may not be available on all hardware platforms
- Machine learning models are cached locally in /cache/huggingface; large model deployments require sufficient disk space (~2GB+)
- PostgreSQL version defaults to 14 (can upgrade to 18), and database migrations may need manual intervention
- No built-in cloud backup or auto-sync with Google Photos — users must manually upload photos from mobile devices
- Limited support for cross-platform compatibility compared to Docker-based alternatives

Despliegue detectado
Qué señales reales de instalación hemos encontrado.
Deploy the Immich stack using Podman Compose. Ensure your host has FreeBSD 15.0+ and Podman installed. Create a jail with OCIJail 0.5.0+ to enable sysvipc for PostgreSQL shared memory. Set environment variables IMMICH_MACHINE_LEARNING_URL, IMMICH_HOST, TZ, DB_PASSWORD, and UPLOAD_LOCATION in .env files. For AppJail Director deployment, use the provided directory structure with device mounts for storage volumes. Always change default passwords after first startup. Monitor disk usage as photo libraries grow over time.
