It’s worth taking the effort to learn if you want to self host stuff. The neat part is once you learn it, you can self host basically anything. Think of a container like a little packaged application that can only interact with the outside world through pathways you give it, either through volume mounts (files) or port mappings (network).
Immich is one of the more complicated and intimidating docker-compose files out there. Try something like glance or miniflux to get a gentler introduction.
So far I've created a new ProxMox container for each application I wanted to run. So I have pihole running in an LXC, Nextcloud in another LXC, Audiobookshelf in yet another LXC, Home Assistant in a VM, etc.
I'm sure that could be done more efficiently with Docker, but for some reason that just doesn't want to click. I don't know where the applications end up installed at, I don't know how to configure stuff, nor how to run multiple docker containers on the same machine.
Immich is the first application I have managed to get running full time in Docker, but I've already encountered an issue with uploads that I can't solve, because I have no idea where to find the config files, nor how to restart it. So I'll leave it as is, for now. Maybe when my brain can get engaged, I can try again.
You might look into Portainer. It gives you a nice GUI to manage docker-compose files, create stacks, edit and update, etc. On my Proxmox server, I have two LXCs set up that run almost all my services like immich, frigate, radarr/sonarr, VPN, qbittorrent, homarr, etc You'll probably find docker compose much easier to understand than plain docker especially considering there are a million templates out there that you can mostly copy and paste.
Thanks for the tip
