Self-hosted Photos on the NAS
Immich on a Synology, deliberately trimmed to run on NAS-class hardware.
Replaces cloud photo storage with Immich on the Synology NAS, keeping the family library in the house. Minimal by design: a compose file and an environment file with Synology path examples.
The interesting part is what was left out. Face and object recognition were disabled on purpose, and the database memory settings were sized to the box rather than copied from the documentation. Only one port is published; in the wider lab the service sits behind the reverse proxy and a Cloudflare Tunnel.
