        I use Umbrel OS installed in my Rasperry Pi 4 and with Immich in it. But I don’t have a robust/automatic back up solution, I simply copy the Immich docker container into an external ssd drive quarterly. Any suggestion for automatic backups? I am interested in that mirroring option with a different NAS in a different location, what setup is needed for that?

          • stop the container (safer)
          • scp only its mounted directory once to the target, via ssh key (no password)
          • next time rsync instead to add only the new files, ideally via a crontab script

      Agreed, but recommended specs are >4GB RAM which should be achievable even with a really old secondhand computer or SBC like a Raspberry Pi.

    • Not sure where you are in the world, but 4tb drives are $80? Which like. $80 is a lot when you ain’t got it, but in computer terms it’s probably the cheapest part in the box

      RAM’s expensive, storage has gotten pretty cheap, at least for HDDs.
