A case for an Immich Flatpak (feddit.it)

Jellyfin Server has a flatpak (and other packing formats too) version that you can easily install without docker directly on your PC. Would it make sense for Immich to do the same? In my mind it would be super useful, I could sync my photos when my PC is on and when is off rely on my local photos only since my main goal is having a backup of them.

Am I crazy or it makes sense?

If your goal is simply having a backup then Immich is probably overkill. Why not just use something like Syncthing?

for syncthing. it aint a backup solution. but it makes life simpler

With Syncthing my smartphone and PC would be perfectly synched (from what I know), but isn't exactly what Immich does. With it you can remove photos one your phone and still view them when the PC is on

My understanding is that Flatpaks are generally reserved for GUI applications and not command-line tools or servers. I’m not sure it’s the ideal format for Immich.

That said—and I’m probably going to get hate for this—there is an Immich snap package that does just what you’re looking for.

Nothing in Flatpak stipulates that it only supports GUI applications.

In fact the tutorial offers to create a CLI application:

Snap is amazing for CLI stuff
