Immich - High performance self-hosted photo and video backup solution

I've switched to a lightweight thin client with all my stuff, due to less power consumption, being perfectly silent, etc. But now I've decided that I will start up my old server, running AMD Phenom II with 8GB RAM and SSD, just for my new Immich install. My question is islf everything will work even without GPU?

Short Summary

1. Importance of decreasing dependence on cloud-connected products you don't have control over.
2. Examples of security cameras from companies like Arlo and Sun Valley Tech with disabled features or cameras without warning.
3. Lack of innovation in modern products, with companies prioritizing profit over product improvement.
4. Benefits of using older IP cameras that support standards like RTSP and ONVIF for more control over devices and data.
5. Story shared about a security incident involving Wyze cameras where user footage was accessible to others due to third-party integration.
6. Emphasis on keeping video data on your network rather than uploading it to external servers for privacy and security reasons.
7. Advice on choosing products from companies that respect user privacy and offer more control over data and device usage.
8. Setting up a camera system using software like Freegate on a device such as a Nook without connecting it to the internet.
9. Using a VPN to access the camera system remotely and the benefits of keeping the system offline for security.
10. Importance of self-hosting and managing data on your own network for privacy and security reasons, rather than relying on external servers.

Curious how others are using Immich. I am currently running it on a TrueNas Scale system, but am planning on running it on either a VPS or a self hosted server via Docker in the future.
