v1.124.0
Highlights
Happy New Year, and welcome to the release v1.124.0 of Immich. After a long break, we are back! Along with many new contributors. This release adds many enhancements and bug fix...
High performance self-hosted photo and video management solution
The first big import will always take time if you have a lot of photos, as will the associated machine learning processing. I’d say you don’t need a GPU like that for normal use though.
Does it mean I would do the first import on desktop, including ML, then I could switch the resulting data (via e.g Docker) to a RPi5 if I get <100 new photos per day?
I’m not sure I understand. Whatever machine is hosting the Immich server will be doing all the processing. Uploading to there will go as fast as your internet connection/storage speed can go, and ML processing will be based on the processing power of the server. You can also manage the ML tasks if you want (Administration > Jobs and/or Settings).

You can also just do the initial import on a NAS. It might take a day perhaps but, honestly, does that matter?
