Hardware and software requirements for Immich

Software

:::note Immich requires the command docker compose - the similarly named docker-compose is deprecated and is no longer compatible with Immich. :::

Hardware

  • OS: Recommended Linux operating system (Ubuntu, Debian, etc).
  • RAM: Minimum 4GB, recommended 6GB.
  • CPU: Minimum 2 cores, recommended 4 cores.
  • Storage: Recommended Unix-compatible filesystem (EXT4, ZFS, APFS, etc.) with support for user/group ownership and permissions.
    • This can present an issue for Windows users. See here for more details and alternatives.
    • The generation of thumbnails and transcoded video can increase the size of the photo library by 10-20% on average.
    • Network shares are supported for the storage of image and video assets only.
