Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard provisions all 4 services in this stack together — immich-db, immich-redis, immich-server, immich-machine-learning — wired to reach each other over the private network, on a server you already pay for.
Deploying Immich is one piece of a bigger stack you can keep building — add a database, a worker, a cache, or another app, all on the same servers you already pay for.
Good for
- Self-hosted backup target for a phone's photo and video library
- A Google Photos alternative for a household or small team
- A private photo library with face and object search
Good to know
- Point the Immich mobile app at this stack's URL to start backing up — nothing else to wire up for a single user
- The machine-learning worker needs real CPU and RAM (Immich recommends at least 2 cores / 6 GB total) — size the server for it, not just the database
- IMMICH_HOST is a bind address, not a public hostname — set to 0.0.0.0 so the generic own-prefix *_HOST convention doesn't wire it to the server's public IP (which the container can't bind to). Its own boot log always prints '127.0.0.1' for a 0.0.0.0/:: bind — that's NestJS's display substitution, not a sign the fix didn't take
