Remote Machine Learning
Currently I have the Immich server running on a Synology NAS. And the ML on my PC.
Because I've just started and wanted to implement all my pictures I decided the PC with ML would speed things up.
My Syn NAS is running at 99% CPU and my PC only at 13%.
In attachment is the data from docker on my PC. All looks good but it's only using 2.13 GB RAM
CPU 0.2-0.6%

- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like
fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.

this YML is what I'm using as the Machine Learning server
Do I also need an env file on the Machine Learning side?
Nope
If it's accessible, then it should download the required model upon request
If required
I see it loading the ViT-B-32__openai model.
I just don't see it using my PC's CPU power instead of the Synology CPU.
Pause all other jobs on the Synology. You're likely IOPS bound
Nothing else is currently running on my Synology. I stopped all other docker containers
Does the Generate Thumbnails go through my PC? Or are those only possible to generate on my Synology?
Those are on the Synology
Because I think everything is working fine, but it's just all stuck on the Thumbnails and waiting for that to be done so it can go into Smart Search and Face Detection
And no way to get it over to the PC?
Library, metadata, and thumbnails are on the Synology. What's the Synology's cpu? Likely not maxed?
It's maxed when those 3 are on right now.
The spike is when I resumed everything.
Right now wait a minute and see if it stays high. You can disable all jobs except those 3
Can I do the main server on my PC and link it to my Synology server via a Network location map.

I'm guessing the difference will be negligible if you're running SHR, but I could be wrong. It didn't make a difference in my case but I have SMR drives unfortunately
it goes to 80-90%
Being not maxed I'd guess it's your disks
so you are not recommending the jobs-workers if it's my disks
Correct, because that won't change. SSD will change a lot
It all seems fine, I have Face Detection on and Smart Search (both not influecing the CPU of the NAS) and I see movement in Docker on desktop. So all fine, it was like you said the bottleneck of the NAS with the thumbnails
