I haven't found setting up Immich to be super easy. But I have a special setup at home (Windows Server with minikube). I've been wanting to try it for some time though.

Maybe I should rope some NAS for just the Immich setup.

Windows Server with minikube seems like an unusual combination. I am guessing you would have a better experience self-hosting stuff with Linux (Debian) & Docker. Running Immich on that is fairly painless. Once you're familiar with that, then decide if something like k8s is right for you. Unless you're already happy with your minikube setup for other apps, and there was something specific you ran into with Immich?

I wrote the open source library that Immich (and PhotoStructure and several thousand other projects) use for metadata reads and writes.

PhotoStructure runs everywhere (laptops, desktops, macOS, Windows and Linux), libraries are portable across machines and OSes, there's a generous, usable free tier, and setup takes about three minutes. If you have any questions hop into our discord, we're a friendly bunch.
