I gave it a try a few months ago. Unfortunately, my experience was not that great. I was hosting it on Synology through Docker and found that the iOS client was a bit buggy and quite slow. Synology Photos completed the initial sync in a few hours, while Immich took several days. After a few months, I switched back to Synology Photos. I might try Immich again in the future.

I started looking for alternatives after Synology became more restrictive with their hardware. I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.

My guess would be that Synology is an expensive but weak computer, bare minimum for NAS.

Immich does require some CPU and also GPU for video transcoding and vector search embedding generation.

I had Immich (and many other containers) running successfully on AMD Ryzen 2400G for years. And recently I upgraded to 5700G since it was a cheap upgrade.
