Packages
The candy is multi-distro — image libraries are declared per distro:
- RPM:
vips,vips-devel,perl-Image-ExifTool,libheif,LibRaw,gcc-c++,make,unzip - PAC:
libvips(no separate-develsplit — headers ship in the same package),libheif,libraw,perl-image-exiftool,gcc(includesg++),make,unzip
Note: FFmpeg is provided via the ffmpeg dependency candy rather than installed directly.
Build Process (tasks:)
The root-phase tasks download Immich source, builds the server, web UI, and core plugin:
- Server —
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm --filter immich build && pnpm --filter immich deploy --prod /opt/immich/server - Geodata — Downloads reverse geocoding data from geonames.org
- Web UI —
pnpm --filter @immich/sdk --filter immich-web build - Core Plugin — Installs
extism-js(v1.6.0) andbinaryen(v124), thenpnpm run buildinplugins/to compile TypeScript → WASM (plugin.wasm). Build tools are cleaned up after compilation. - PostgreSQL extensions — Init SQL at
/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/01-immich-extensions.sqlcreatesvector,vchord CASCADE, andearthdistance CASCADEextensions (runs during firstinitdbonly) - Database migration script —
/usr/local/bin/immich-db-migrate.shruns on every container start via theimmich-db-initsupervisord service. Waits for PostgreSQL, then idempotently ensuresvector,earthdistance, andvchord(if available) extensions exist. Handles both fresh installs and upgrades of existing databases. - Server startup wrapper —
/usr/local/bin/immich-server-start.shwaits for PostgreSQL to be ready before starting the Node.js process. Eliminates the crash-restart loop that previously occurred when supervisord startedimmich-serverbefore PostgreSQL finished recovery.
All pnpm commands use npm_config_cache=/tmp/npm-root-cache to avoid creating root-owned files in the container user's ~/.cache directory.

overthinkos/plugin
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use when authoring or modifying a charly PLUGIN — a candy with a `plugin:` block that contributes Providers (verbs/kinds/deploy-targets/steps/builders/commands), its own CUE schema, builtin (compiled-in) or external (out-of-tree git repo). Covers the unified Provider model, the per-plugin CUE-schema contract (single source → Go params for dev + schema-over-Describe RPC for runtime), the SDK, and the loader.

tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
The CUE data-validation / configuration CLI (cue), pinned to v0.16.1. Use when working with the cue candy, installing the cue binary into a box or onto a target:local dev host, or running the offline schema-vendoring pipeline that feeds charly's egress validation.
SKILL.mdUpdated Jun 16, 2026
overthinkos/egress
tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
CUE EGRESS validation — validating (and, where it adds value, generating) the config files charly WRITES to a system BEFORE the bytes hit disk. MUST be invoked before working on charly/egress.go, the vendored schemas under candy/plugin-egress/egress-schemas/vendor/, the ValidateEgress / registerVendoredEgressKind path, the offline `task cue:vendor` pipeline, or adding an egress schema for any written artifact (cloud-init, k8s manifests, traefik routes, runtime config, install ledger, systemd/quadlet units, ssh_config, libvirt XML).

Kubernetes cluster-probe declarative check verb — the `kube:` check verb (nodes, pods, ingress, storage class, addon health, apply/delete, and arbitrary resource GETs) served out-of-process by the candy/plugin-kube plugin (vendored client-go; no external kubectl required).
