    I really need to take the time to

    • install (or even update) my local instance
    • try a batch import (any hint?) from iOS (iirc the app did work well, just takes a while the first time)
    • setup the ML part (on a 2080ti, so that also will probably take time initially)

      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?
