Ideally, there’d be a simple RPM installer compatible with Alma 9 that I can point to a samba share that holds all the photos, kind of like what I do with Jellyfin. Also nice if it uses an otherwise unused port or I can easily set what port it uses.
My googling is finding a bunch of docker stuff, which always seems needlessly complicated to me vs an RPM… I’m also using a low powered x86 tiny computer to front JellyFin and would like to host this on the same computer vs needing another server.
I don’t want a research project. I just was hoping there was an easy to use program to make the viewing better than samba shares. Maybe I just need a set of programs that will display thumbnails over samba.
The answer to your question you didn’t ask is:
Immich if you want a full fledged photo library.
You download a compose.yml file and run docker compose up -d in the same directory. At first you have to install docker and manipulate the compose file but as you see, you don’t need a degree for docker.
You should learn docker if you care about self hosting stuff though. You might lose 1 day learning the basics of docker, but the practicity of being able to spin up services just to test them it’s well worth it.
Personally I use Immich for photo management, but not sure it it’s packaged as an RPM, and even if it is you’ll need to setup the database yourself. Nextcloud also possibly works but again setting Nextcloud without containers is a PitA.
Someone asking for a service to self host that refuses to use docker is similar to a person who wants to run a server but refuses to learn CLI, yes it can be done, but you’re making your life hard for no purpose and everyone else will just give you the simple solution.
Given the very specific dependencies that Immich has wrt. the Postgres plugins it needs, I’m certain that it’s not currently packaged as an RPM and I would even bet that it never will be (at least not as one of the officially supported packages put out by the developers).
Fair enough, last time I tried docker, which was a long time ago, I had all sorts of issues with permissions and persistence. I guess it’s probably better now.

There is. There are multiple. And to install all of them it’s easiest to use docker. You won’t find any program installable via rpm.

Selfhosting may not be your thing if you don’t like learning and researching new products.
Except most people will use containers because they are easy to distribute and set up. Guess you could try hosting Immich?

Yet here you are on a research project.
