@lproven I'm running a DXP2800 with an N100 and 8GB of DDR5. Tried installing various Linux distributions, no problem whatsoever. Runs Debian now. It's fast enough to serve Immich to the family running on podman.
@hzulla Handy! Thank you!
Is Immich demanding, then?
@lproven Immich does local on-machine face recognition and image recognition, but these only stress the machine once when you upload and postprocess 20+ years of family photos. In daily use as an SMB/Resilio server and Immich photo server, the NAS is idle most of the time and the N100 is snappy for my use cases. I'm really happy with it.
@lproven it's very straightforward to tune Immich to use fewer resources. Postprocessing of image uploads takes a bit more time, but since your mobile device does the upload in the background, you won't notice this anyway.
