Pre-install questions
Hey folks. Looking to migrate off of Google Photos for my wife and I to a self hosted solution. I've been reading deployment docs and have a few questions.
I'll be installing on an unraid server.
I see the community apps install option and the recommended Docker Compose option. I feel confident in my ability to configure either way but wondering what the pros/cons are of each?
My primary concerns would be ease of management, I prefer the Unraid Docker GUI for managing containers vs CLI, I want to have my install be as easily updatable to the latest builds/features and easy to migrate to another server if I ever move from Unraid to something like TrueNAS
I don't mind running separate containers for Postgres and Redis, I already do for other apps. I'm running Postgres SQL 15 currently, can that be used or does it need to be 14?
Looking to maximize performance with a large library I have both an SSD cache pool and an NVME cache pool. Normally I keep Docker configs and datbases on the SSD pool, wondering if I'll see a difference running Immich on NVME? Any other tuning tips? The library will be on the main HDD array.
I plan to start with just a backup of our Google Photos but I may eventually want to import our older photo libraries from DSLR/Mirrorless (including Raw files) and other large video files, as well as scans of old film photos. Any best practices around adding these to the mix?
