What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides the complete project context and operational guidance to provision a Mac Mini into a reproducible personal photo NAS running Immich, automating installation, storage mounting, monitoring, backups, and security configuration with Ansible.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Reproducible Provisioning: Encodes the bootstrap, preflight, dry-run, and install sequence using idempotent Ansible roles for Homebrew, Docker Desktop, Immich, PostgreSQL, Redis, and system dependencies.
• Secure Backups & Networking: Documents rclone encrypted backups to Hetzner Storage Box and Tailscale VPN configuration to avoid exposing ports to the internet.
• Monitoring & Alerts: Describes Prometheus, Grafana, cAdvisor, and ntfy integration for metrics, dashboards, and mobile alerts.
• Use Case: Convert a fresh Apple Silicon macOS Mac Mini with an external SSD into a managed Immich photo server with scheduled encrypted backups and centralized monitoring.

Quick Start

Run the Ansible playbooks in order: bootstrap, preflight with a dry-run, then install to provision the Mac Mini according to the NAS-logo repository.
