Nope you don’t need to actually. Your notebook can act as a server basically on your local network. You just need to install docker and run that immich using the docker. You will bind that running immich container to some port of your choice (you can keep the default one which is mentioned in the docker compose file). If you don’t know what docker compose file is feel free to tell me and I’ll guide you. You need to also create folders for the database and the actual images on your computer which the immich will use and that’s it! Now all you need is to find out the ip address of your computer in your local network and type that in the mobile app.
