How to install Immich on Alpine Linux Latest

Immich is a web based dashboard for your Docker container, built with Node.js and Socket.IO. Here's how you can install it on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • A running instance of Alpine Linux Latest
  • Basic knowledge of Linux command line
  • Access to the terminal or console with root privileges
  • Git installed on your system

Step 1: Install Node.js and NPM

Immich requires Node.js and NPM. You can install them by running the following command on your terminal:

apk add nodejs npm

This command will install the latest version of Node.js and NPM available in the Alpine package manager.

Step 2: Install Git

Immich is hosted on Github, so you'll need Git to clone the repository. You can install Git with the following command:

apk add git

Step 3: Clone the Immich repository

To clone the Immich repository, navigate to the directory where you want to download the code and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/alextran1502/immich.git

This will create a new directory called "immich" in your current directory, which contains all the code and files for Immich.

Step 4: Install dependencies

Navigate into the "immich" directory using the terminal and install the required npm dependencies by running:

npm install

This will install all the necessary Node.js packages and dependencies for Immich to run.

Step 5: Start Immich

Finally, start Immich with the following command:

npm start

This will start Immich on port 8080 by default. You can access the dashboard by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. If you want to use a different port, you can specify it by setting the PORT variable, like so:

PORT=1234 npm start

This will start Immich on port 1234 instead.

Conclusion

That's it! You now have Immich up and running on Alpine Linux Latest. You can configure it and use it to manage your Docker containers. Happy coding!
