|

[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
|
||
|
||
::file-tree
|
||
---
|
||
tree:
|
||
/:
|
||
- docker:
|
||
- immich:
|

- library/
|
||
- compose.yaml
|
||
- .env
|

|
||
|
||
::steps{level="3"}
|
||
### Deploy the stack
|
||
|
||
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).
|
||
|
||
::warning
|
||
|
||
__Warning__: Do not add the Watchtower label to the Immich stack. Immich evolves rapidly, and automatic updates may break your installation.
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
### Set your environment variables
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
::note{to="/general/networking/samba/"}
|
||
|
||
If you're using a NAS or a network-shared drive via **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 can connect and follow the setup instructions at `http://yourserverip:2283`.
|
||
|

### Done !

## 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.
|
||
|
||
::note{icon=""}
|
||
📋 __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).
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
::steps{level="3"}
|
||
### Add Immich's network to SWAG
|
||
|
||
In Dockge, open the SWAG stack and edit the compose file to add Immich's network:
|
||
|
||
```yaml [compose.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
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
::note
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
### Create the subdomain.conf file
|
||
|
||
In the SWAG folders, create a file named `immich.subdomain.conf`.
|
||
|
||
::tip{icon="" to="/serveex/files/file-browser-quantum"}
|
||
|
||
✨ __Tip:__ You can use **File Browser Quantum** to navigate and edit your files instead of using terminal commands.
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
```bash [Terminal]
|
||
sudo nano /docker/swag/config/nginx/proxy-confs/immich.subdomain.conf
|
||
```
|
||
Then paste the following configuration:
|
||
|
||
```nginx [immich.subdomain.conf]

Press :kbd{value="Ctrl+O"}, then :kbd{value="Enter"} to save, and :kbd{value="Ctrl+X"} to exit.
|
||
|
||
### Done !
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
That's it! Immich is now accessible from the internet. Don’t 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.
|
||
|
||
## Protecting Immich with Pocket ID
|
||
Immich supports OIDC natively, so you can require a Pocket ID login before letting anyone into your photos, instead of (or alongside) the app's own accounts.
|
||
|
||
::steps{level="3"}
|
||
### Register Immich as an OIDC client
|
||
|
||
[Register an OIDC client in Pocket ID](/serveex/security/pocket-id#registering-an-oidc-client) named `immich`, with these three callback URLs:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
https://immich.yourdomain.com/auth/login
|
||
https://immich.yourdomain.com/user-settings
|
||
app.immich:///oauth-callback
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The third URL is what lets the mobile app log in too.
|
||
|
||
### Enable OAuth in Immich
|
||
|
||
In Immich, go to _Administration > Settings > Authentication Settings > OAuth_, enable it, and fill in:
|
||
|
||
| Field | Value |
|
||
|-------|-------|
|
||
| Issuer URL | Pocket ID's OIDC discovery URL |
|
||
| Client ID | The client ID copied from Pocket ID |
|
||
| Client Secret | The client secret copied from Pocket ID |
|
||
|
||
### Done !
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
::tip{icon="" to="/serveex/advanced/authentik"}
|
||
✨ You can use **Authentik** instead of Pocket ID:
|
||
|
||
1. In Authentik, create an application and an OAuth2/OpenID Connect provider named `immich`, with the same three redirect URIs as above (type `Strict`).
|
||
2. Note the provider's __Client ID__, __Client Secret__, and __Slug__.
|
||
3. In Immich's OAuth settings, set the Issuer URL to `https://authentik.yourdomain.com/application/o/<slug>/`, then fill in the Client ID and Client Secret.
