🎯 __Goals:__ Install [Immich](https://immich.app/docs/overview/introduction) to manage your photos across all your devices.
::
[Immich](https://immich.app/docs/overview/introduction) is a self-hosted photo and video management solution that replaces cloud services like Google Photos or iCloud. It offers powerful features like face recognition and geolocation.

## Installation
---
Folder structure
```console
root
└── docker
└── immich
├── library
├── compose.yaml
└── .env
```
Open Dockge, click on `compose`, name the stack `immich`, then copy and paste the latest `docker-compose.yml` [published here](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml).
::alert{type="warning"}
:::list{type="warning"}
- __Warning__: Do not add the Watchtower label to the Immich stack. Immich evolves rapidly, and automatic updates may break your installation.
:::
::
Configure the `.env` file by copying the latest version [from here](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/docker/example.env) and follow the comments in the file.
::alert{type="info"}
:::list{type="info"}
- If you're using a NAS or a network-shared drive via [Samba](/general/networking/samba/) to store your data, replace the value of `UPLOAD_LOCATION`{lang=properties} with the path to your shared folder.

__Tip:__ If your CPU/iGPU/GPU supports it, Immich can use hardware acceleration for video playback and image recognition. This can triple performance. Learn more about [Transcoding](https://immich.app/docs/features/hardware-transcoding/) and [Machine Learning](https://immich.app/docs/features/ml-hardware-acceleration).
::
Deploy the container.
You're done! You can connect and follow the setup instructions at `http://yourserverip:2283`.
## Exposing Immich with SWAG
---
The main benefit of this setup is being able to access Immich remotely on all your devices. We'll expose Immich using SWAG.
::alert{type="info"}
📋 __Before you begin:__
<br/><br/>
We assume that you have a subdomain `immich.yourdomain.com` with a `CNAME` pointing to `yourdomain.com` in your [DNS zone](/general/networking/dns). Also, unless you're using [Cloudflare Zero Trust](/serveex/security/cloudflare), make sure port `443` on your router is forwarded to port `443` on your server via [NAT rules](/general/networking/nat).
::
In Dockge, open the SWAG stack and edit the compose file to add Immich's network:
```yaml
services:
swag:
container_name: # ...
# ...
networks: # Connects the container to the custom network
# ...
- immich # Network name defined in the stack
networks: # Defines the custom network
# ...
immich: # Network name defined in the stack
name: immich_default # Actual external network name
external: true # Indicates it's an external network
```
::alert{type="info"}
:::list{type="info"}
- We're assuming Immich's network is named `immich_default`. You can check connectivity by visiting the SWAG dashboard at http://yourserverip:81.
:::
::
Restart the stack by clicking "deploy" and wait for SWAG to fully initialize.
In the SWAG folders, create a file named `immich.subdomain.conf`.
::alert{type="success"}
:::list{type="success"}
- __Tip:__ You can use [File Browser](/serveex/files/file-browser) to navigate and edit your files instead of using terminal commands.
:::
::
```shell
sudo vi /docker/swag/config/nginx/proxy-confs/immich.subdomain.conf
```
Press `i` to enter insert mode, then paste the following configuration:
```nginx

set $upstream_app immich_server;
set $upstream_port 3001;
set $upstream_proto http;
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}
location ~ (/immich)?/api {

set $upstream_app immich_server;
set $upstream_port 3001;
set $upstream_proto http;
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;

}
```
Press `Esc`, type `:x`, then hit `Enter` to save and exit.
That's it! Immich is now accessible from the internet. Dont forget to install the [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/immich/id1613945652) / [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.alextran.immich) apps to sync your devices.
