From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think you got docker mixed with something else, since docker does the exact opposite, i.e. allows you run services without all of the arcane shit involved. Just put the compose file in a folder and run
docker compose up -dand you're done, whereas the alternative would be to install a database, configure it, install the immich service, connect it to the database, write a service file for both database and service to allow it to be auto-started, and face multiple issues due to missing dependencies or permissions.Not to mention there are so many more ways to fuck up security when configuring it all on your own outside a container.
Edit: of course one can also fuck up security with a container
Absolutely, and in most cases (while one shouldn't rely on this since escaping a docker container is sometimes doable) even if there is a security breach the invader would be limited to the service image, which would get recreated upon restart.
