Jason ReedWith some help from @rosenclosed (who did all the work) we now have an immich.app server running in our house net. It's pretty awesome. Since the old laptop I purchased to act as the host server isn't very strong, we bolstered the facial detection by spinning up a docker on my desktop during the bulk import. Now everything is running fairly smoothly on the laptop.
since this project was originally requested by my wife, there's hope I can convince her to allow me to upgrade the computer to something stronger 😉
