Using immich off of my home network?
Another quick question, if I wanted to use immich to look at my pictures when i’m not at home, I would have to port forward the “2283” port (TCP or UDP) and use my public ip rather than localhost, right?

Yes, you could
There are other options like tail scale, cloudflare tunnels, or a reverse proxy that could make this easier or more secure. But just port forwarding also works
Don't just port forward, because you should not use plain http over the Internet. Instead you should set up a reverse proxy in front to use https
I'd check out caddy if you haven't seen it
Very easy to use
I use traefik and a domain name to expose immich through it so I can access it even when I'm not at home
But you have to port forward the 443 port to redirect the https traffic to your machine that hosts the service
