I tried this but didn’t have luck. Intel NUC 13 i7 with 16gb ram, Immich in a docker container. Photos on my NAS. The moment I open chrome or Firefox to Immich and get past the onboarding, it just locks up. Maybe 50,000 photos in the library. Disappointing because I really wanted to like it, and have moved pretty much everything else to self hosted.
Very strange. I've got roughly 40k photos and Immich runs just fine on i5-6xxx old minipc with 8 gigs of ram. Migrated to Immich a couple of years ago from Photoprism (which was fine as well, I just prefer the UI of Immich).
I host immich inside a Linux VM on FreeBSD, with 6 GB of RAM. Fourth generation Intel processor. The initial jobs to parse metadata took a day or two, but now it’s perfectly snappy and useable.
Do you have WebGL disabled or is WebGL not working?
Check you don’t have a circular import on your NAS. I had similar issues because I had my photos at /nas/photos and my Immich metadata folder configured as a subfolder of that. So it kept reindexing its own metadata.
