I did that. So I'll try the update with the docker compose I just posted. Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by that exactly. I guessed at this being right. Differences from new stock docker compose are immich server and microsservices don't depend on redis/database(commented out) and both redis and database sections are gone, plus pgdata at the very bottom is commented out, which it has always been.

I never really need that much storage space in much of any server that I install, so just comes down to CPU performance mostly to me with what I need to get that will do the job adequately.

Yeah, sounds like it for you. If I needed eight terabytes as an example of storage, I would say I could practically do two 4 terabyte SSDs of different form factors. That would not include any redundancy if I wanted eight terabytes of total usable space, so if I needed redundancy I could have four terabytes of usable space

A NAS is an entire another computer, which for one could be used instead, but it's not the best solution, so if you need more storage adding a whole another computer is the inefficient way to do it. You are better off having enough storage all in the same computer. If that means that you need a bigger computer with enough ports to get the drives you need, then you need a bigger computer. It doesn't mean it needs to be that big. Computers coming a lot of different shapes and sizes and there are a number of places where you can get smaller form factor computers for example at a great deal refurbished. If you were going to use the little mini computers, if you can't fit enough drives inside of it as it's usually only two that you could, getting an external drive would still be better than getting a whole other computer. I wouldn't want to have to use the external ports though even though they're still plenty of speed on offer if it's USB 3 whatever.

What kind of capacity are you looking at the server having in terabytes?

I have an Nvidia shield as well, I agree. I've almost never transcoded anything. My server CPU is quite beefy, but it's for other reasons than transcoding. Do you mean as in an external drive enclosure?

I wouldn't recommend having a second NAS. You'd be better just having the storage inside the server. Less expensive as well. The n95 one I listed as well as many of them have the m.2 SSD slot as well as a SATA port. That gives you two drives, but there were definitely be some that you might be able to do a third. You have to decide on how much storage capacity and drives you actually want before you can look at what type of server is going to fit your need.

It's not about the brand. It's just about the performance, mostly of the CPU as the other stuff is very entertainable. There's a guide somewhere that talks about what kind of CPU you need for transcoding of different levels of media. You may not need transcoding though. If not, then it doesn't require much horsepower at all. That would only be applicable for live transcoding anyways.

From a size standpoint, if you're thinking that many drives it sounds like you're going to need at least a small form factor computer, but maybe even more of a mini tower. They make some that are meant to house multiple drives while not being a full size tower. All it really has to have is a cage or two that fits the hard drives into it

You would want a solid state drive for performance and responsiveness though, especially as cheap as they are, so you could get say a smaller size one of those and then get big capacity mechanical drives and they could be what's used for Immich.
