It costs a little but a VPS running Pangolin and Crowdsec is a decent replacement for cloudflare for hiding your IP and having some extra protection.

Most VPS are on 1Gbps connections, but even if it only has 100Mbps that’s plenty.

Just a reverse proxy, I was using Caddy, moved to Pangolin because it’s neat.

It supports DDR4 if you buy a motherboard that supports DDR4 too.

I would probably go Intel with iGPU for the transcoding and acceleration for Immich. i3-14100 is fast and cheap.

Otherwise you definitely have far more CPU power than you’ll need for those apps so no worries there.

Have you checked while it’s running all the ML tasks on import? Mine uses a good chunk of RAM while that’s running.
