Absolutely this. Immich is pretty simple to set up. They even provide a docker compose and env file to be customised.
Maybe I'm just stupid but I couldn't figure out how to install docker on mint. I gave up after searching several different issues.
You're not the only one. I'm not sure why I had such issues on mint but on other platforms it "just installed".
Sometimes things aren't as easy as they seem, or they aren't documented well. Hence I like tutorials as another source (to be clear I say another source as we should always look at the source documentation)
That makes me feel better lol

Thank you! I'll try again this weekend.
Because I'm an Ubuntu noob, I've been unable to get any docker app working that requires any variety of database. Immich being one of them.
Are you using Ubuntu snaps? I’m guessing you probably are.
Try this guide https://www.w3tutorials.net/blog/how-to-remove-a-snap-application-docker-completely/
If you want a nice GUI to manage your containers I can recommend Arcane https://getarcane.app/
I'm pretty sure I avoided getting the snap version, I remember reading that that part wasn't what I wanted, and docker isn't in my snap list.
I think it's a permissions issue. It doesn't seem to care if I pass it in my puid/guid. Or change permissions on the folder it created
