Containers are amazing. But they may not be for everything. It also depends what you mean by containers. In this case I think you mean only docker containers. They are amazing, I love them but they are not the silver bullet. But then if you also think about LXC those two types can cover like 99 % of homelab usecases.

Yeah, I mean its still good, but I wish I could just say “apply permanently” and have it on the filesystem without having to tinker…

I love it too actually, I just wish to have a button that would basically say “apply permanently”.

Its huge and not huge at the same time. Lots of new stuff, but lots only in some clients. What disappoints me a bit is the lossless editing. On one hand it is nice feature to have, on the other I want my edits to be permanent. I made Immich to save my images in pre-defined structure so that if immich stops working one day (or if I want to perform batch file operations or whatever) I still have my photos neatly organized. This lossless editing means that the changes will live somewhere in database and not on the actual filesystem. I hope they eventually introduce option to apply on the actual file.
