Deploy Immich via Coolify in one click — private photo Backup with root access, NVMe storage and locations in Europe & America.
American ExpressA private Google Photos alternative
Immich backs up every photo and video from your phone automatically and sorts them into one private timeline you can search by person, place, or even a described scene. It is a self-hosted Google Photos alternative with the same easy mobile Backup and sharing. The difference: the library lives on your own VPS instead of inside a closed consumer account, and it stays reachable from any device, wherever you are.
Coolify takes care of the first setup: pick Immich from the marketplace and the server, database, and machine-learning containers deploy together without hand-written Docker Compose files. Root and SSH access stay yours, so you can attach extra storage, put the library behind your own domain, schedule off-server Backups, or bring an existing install over on your terms. A locked-down managed host rarely gives you that flexibility.

Built for real photo libraries
Automatic phone Backup, face grouping, and smart search on one private server, deployed through Coolify and fully yours over SSH.
Your private photo cloud runs in minutes, with no Compose file to write by hand.
Run updates, read logs, and mount storage yourself through direct SSH access.
New photos and videos reach your library without manual exports or cables.
Find every photo of a person without tagging a single picture by hand.
Describe a scene in plain words and find matching shots, no tags needed.
Phone clips play smoothly in any browser, as Immich transcodes them when needed.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Yes. Order the VPS, open One-Click Apps in the dashboard, and launch Immich from the Coolify marketplace. The server, Postgres database, Redis, and machine-learning containers deploy together, so you skip writing Docker Compose files and reverse-proxy rules by hand. You can still tune every container yourself afterwards. Learn more about One-Click Apps
Immich's documentation lists 2 CPU cores and 6 GB RAM as the minimum, with 4 cores and 8 GB recommended. That suits one or two users with photo Backup and face recognition. Heavy video uploads or large re-indexing jobs need more RAM and CPU. Size storage for your media plus headroom for thumbnails and transcoded clips.
Immich itself is free, open-source software, and its optional supporter license is a donation that unlocks no extra features. What you pay for is the VPS: CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage, with live prices shown in the shop. A single-user archive can start on a smaller plan, while large family libraries need more storage. Longer billing periods lower the effective monthly rate.
Yes. You get root and SSH access to the whole VPS, not a locked-down appliance. Apply Immich updates on your own schedule after reading the release notes, inspect container logs, mount extra storage, or tune the reverse proxy. Face recognition and smart search run on your own server instead of a third-party AI service.
Backups, snapshots, and restores for your VPS come with a ZapX Pass. For an irreplaceable photo archive, also keep an off-server copy of your media folder and an Immich database dump, and test a restore once so you know recovery actually works.
Yes. Copy your upload folder and a dump of the Immich Postgres database to the new VPS, restore both into the fresh stack, and keep the same Immich version during the move. Check thumbnails, search, and shared links, then point your domain's DNS record at the new server to switch over. How to edit DNS records
Choose from locations in Europe and America and pick the one closest to you and the people you share albums with, so uploads and timeline scrolling stay fast. Many North American households start with Ashburn. Your library stays in the location you pick.
For many privacy-first buyers, yes. Home hardware can work, but remote access, upload bandwidth, router setup, power, and Backup discipline are all on you. A fully managed host is simpler, but you usually trade away root access and storage flexibility. A VPS is the middle ground: easier to keep online from anywhere, but still yours to tune.
