Deploy and Host Immich on Railway
Immich is a high performance self-hosted photo and video backup solution. And an alternative to Google Photos.
Immich offers seamless backup and access to your media from mobile and web clients, providing a privacy-focused alternative to cloud services.
About Hosting Immich
This template deploys a monolithic Docker image for Immich, removing Redis and machine learning components, making it lightweight, cost-effective.
Other templates that attempt to deploy Redis will bug out because Railway's internal networking utilizes IPv6 and Immich's Redis connection does not support IPv6.
