Step 4: Download Docker Templates¶
Quicklink to the Unraid terminal (paste into your browser while logged into Unraid):
http://<your-unraid-ip>/Terminal
Open the Unraid web interface and open the terminal (click the 
icon in the top right corner of the navigation bar). Then download the templates you need.
Note
wget downloads files from the web. The -P flag sets the download directory. Templates are saved to Unraid's Docker Manager template directory.
PostgreSQL¶
Choose between stability and latest features:
| Option | Image | VectorChord | pgvector | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stable | ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:18-vectorchord0.5.3-pgvector0.8.1 |
0.5.3 | 0.8.1 | Tested by Immich team |
| Experimental | tensorchord/vchord-postgres:pg18-v1.1.1 |
1.1.1 | 0.8.2 | Latest, less tested |
Note
You COULD use VectorChord 1.0.0+ (See #23845) or 1.1.1 (See this discussion). The 0.5.3 version is more stable and tested extensively with Immich. If you want to try the latest, use the experimental template.
PostgreSQL database by Immich — RECOMMENDED (stable, tested by Immich team):¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-postgres-official.xml
PostgreSQL database by VectorChord — EXPERIMENTAL (latest VectorChord 1.1.1, less tested with Immich):¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-vectorchord-db.xml
Valkey (cache/message broker):¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-valkey.xml
Machine Learning template (choose one based on your GPU):¶
CPU only — no GPU acceleration:¶
CPU inference is possible but will be much slower for tasks like face recognition and CLIP-based search. Only recommended if you have a powerful CPU and a small library. Will work but expect slower performance and high load on the CPU.
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-machine-learning.xml
NVIDIA CUDA:¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-machine-learning-cuda.xml
Intel OpenVINO:¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-machine-learning-openvino.xml
AMD ROCm:¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-machine-learning-rocm.xml
Server template (choose one based on your GPU):¶
These templates are for video transcoding. If you don't have a GPU or don't want to use it for transcoding, choose the CPU-only template.
CPU only — no GPU transcoding:¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-server.xml
Intel QSV / AMD VAAPI — uses /dev/dri:¶
You can also use your Intel iGPU ("inbuilt graphics card" in your CPU) for transcoding with Quick Sync Video (QSV) or your AMD GPU with VAAPI. Both use the same template since they both leverage /dev/dri for hardware acceleration.
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-server-qsv-vaapi.xml
NVIDIA NVENC — uses --runtime=nvidia:¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/immich-server-nvenc.xml
PhotoMigrator (for Google Takeout migration):¶
wget -P /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rorar/unraid-templates/main/templates/photomigrator.xml
