Distributed immich instance
Hi there 
,
I'm currently planning on how to set up Immich with a separated "processing" and "storage" instances across different machines. I read about hosting the image-recognition service on a separate machine in the documentation, therefore I hope that my approach isn't too far fetched.
As for my setup, I essentially have one "powerful" dedicated server in Frankfurt, which has enough RAM and CPU to do all the "heavy lifting" for my Immich setup. Additionally, there is a "storage" VPS, hosted in Amsterdam, which has about 1GB of RAM and 1 vCPU, where I'd like to save all my images. Bandwidth is usually not a problem, but sometimes I get ping spikes when connecting from either machine to the other one.
So, is there a recommended way of splitting the storage and the processing part? Would a simple network filesystem mount (nfs, sshfs, ...) be enough or is there a better way to do it? I hope this question hasn't already been asked a bajillion times, but I'd love to hear your recommendations on how to do this the right way.
Thanks in advance!
