Selfhosted photo manager kind of like Jellyfin (sopuli.xyz)

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.

Any ideas?

What are you talking about.. Containers make it way easier to setup and operate services, especially multicomponent services like Immich. I just tried Immich and it took me several minutes to get it running. If I wanted to give it permanent storage, I'd have to spend several more to make a directory then add a line in a file and restart it. I've been setting up services before Linux containers became a thing and after. I'd never go back to the pre-container times if I have the choice.
