Run Immich only on local network

Hi guys, i just found out about this awesome project, and i was wondering if is possible to run it just on the local network, without exposing it to the internet. The main reason is that I don't trust myself with my network configuration. If is possible, how the mobile app(android) usage would be affected? Will be possible to access the app and see the photos on the storage of the phone when away from home? Or i will be blocked out? Out of context question, is possible to disable the ML functions? ( like faces detection, running on a thin client) Thanks for the help and keep up with this awesome project!!

No, you cannot if you are not exposing the service You can use VPN if you don't want to expose anything
