Recommendations to setup immich (self.selfhosted)

Hello!

So I've been planning on getting off Google photos for a while now and want to test Immich as a replacement. To that end I've got myself a raspberry pi 5 (8gb) and paired it with a 1tb nvme SSD. I have been familiarising myself with immich documentation and content on securing rpi network, but I would appreciate if you could provide me with more insight or basics that I should look out for. I am still in uni so it will be connected via eduroam.

Thank you!

So I have a large immich database and a slow CPU and really wish I spun up a docker swarm to kick in some extra CPU when needed. Otherwise, it does work exceptionally well on lower power devices, just takes a looooong time.

Oh, and read changelogs because not all updates go smooth. ;) My stack has been down since the last release and I haven't had time to fix it.

I’m curious, how would you setup a docker swarm to scale the cpu when needed?
