Jellyfin Server has a flatpak (and other packing formats too) version that you can easily install without docker directly on your PC. Would it make sense for Immich to do the same? In my mind it would be super useful, I could sync my photos when my PC is on and when is off rely on my local photos only since my main goal is having a backup of them.

Am I crazy or it makes sense?

    It probably can be packaged in a flatpak but it would be more of a challenge than using the docker package. You could implement your use case today with the default docker compose setup. You could be up and running in minutes. Start it with -d and it would even start automatically on reboot. It won’t consume any more resources than a flatpak version.

    Just try this in a directory somewhere: https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose/

    As for docker itself, if you’re on Ubuntu or Debian, you can use the docker version from the stock repos. The package is docker.io and for compose you want docker-compose-v2
