may I ask why you’d prefer setting things up manually without docker?
Imho, copy & pasting a provided docker-compose is much simpler.

It’s mostly about having the ability and wanting to avoid any extra layers of abstraction. I think docker takes up more disk space than pure install but not 100% on that. Only app that I have w docker is Immich right now and would love to just uninstall docker entirely but … I can’t.

that’s true. Docker images indeed take up more space, especially if you don’t prune old unused images, it can quickly pile up.
to mitigate that, always go with the alpine-version of a service (if it’s available) since these are much smaller in size and are barely noticable.
