  • It is completely up to your local market and needs, ie for how much you can sell it, what you can buy etc…

    The only tips I can give you:

    • Do you REALLY need all of the compute power? Most people don’t and you would wast a ton on electricity. This point on it’s own is enough to push most to a mini pc. (Immich can run on basically any mini pc)
    • is there absolutely no other place for the server where the noise wouldn’t be an issue?
    • look into sound proofing, you could house it in a box lined with acoustic foam with a the airway taking multiple 90° turns to keep airflow while reducing noise.

    P.S:

    I personally went on an in-between, I have a large tower pc, basically a server but with hardware meant for mostly silent work, so it rarely get’s noisier than background.










  • For docker compose I have a part of the script that gets all subdirs of “projects” dir and for each one does an update (that way any new service will be updated without having manually specify in the script) for everything else I just hard coded the update process.

    Generally 90% of my updates are just running the script, on the other 10% I do some manual work (like updating configs, etc)

    But for the most part this is me refusing to use already existing tools that could probably do most of this better
