Running Immich on DockHive

Smallest size

Immich needs at least a Medium HivePod (about $8 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing. A Medium pod needs more than the Free Tier's 1 vCPU, so use the Developer or Pro Plan.

Its databases are included

Immich comes with PostgreSQL and Redis inside the same HivePod, set up for you with their own generated passwords. Only the app can reach them, and you pay for the pod's size only.

Its own HTTPS address

Immich gets its own HTTPS address as soon as it's running. You can also serve it on your own domain: add the domain to the pod and the certificate is issued automatically.

Your data and backups

Immich's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
