Jobs and Workers

I want my PC to do the microservices work.
But I can't seem to figure out how to apply the Split Worker lines into the docker-compose.yml

I made a 2nd server on my PC.
I added the text to the docker-compose.yml
(probably wrong)

 ports:
      2283:2283
   environment:
     IMMICH_WORKERS_INCLUDE: 'API-NAS server'

 immich-microservices:
   container_name: immich_microservices
   environment:
     IMMICH_WORKERS_EXCLUDE: 'API-PC-server'
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - database
    restart: always

 ports:
      2283:2283
   environment:
     IMMICH_WORKERS_INCLUDE: 'API-NAS server'

 immich-microservices:
   container_name: immich_microservices
   environment:
     IMMICH_WORKERS_EXCLUDE: 'API-PC-server'
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - database
    restart: always

      - database
    restart: always

   IMMICH_WORKERS_INCLUDE: 'API-NAS server'

   IMMICH_WORKERS_INCLUDE: 'API-NAS server'

where did this line come from?

MyNameIsZjefOP•1/25/25, 4:10 PM

I try to understand the Jobs-worker document

Tempest•1/25/25, 4:11 PM

notice the difference between

IMMICH_WORKERS_INCLUDE: 'API-NAS server'
and 
IMMICH_WORKERS_INCLUDE: 'api'

IMMICH_WORKERS_INCLUDE: 'API-NAS server'
and 
IMMICH_WORKERS_INCLUDE: 'api'

MyNameIsZjefOP•1/25/25, 4:13 PM

I interpret it as the 'api' there I have to fill in my API code from settings?

Tempest•1/25/25, 4:13 PM

no. Just apiapi

MyNameIsZjefOP•1/25/25, 4:14 PM

But how does it interact between the PC and the NAS. If I don't have to put the API code or IP:port

bo0tzz•1/25/25, 4:15 PM

Through the postgres and redis containers that you connect it to

Tempest•1/25/25, 4:17 PM

is this for initial onboarding? If you're running HDDs (especially at 5400 rpm) it's quite possible that you're IOPS bound and not CPU bound, in which case running remote microservices will make a negligible difference

TTempest is this for initial onboarding? If you're running HDDs (especially at 5400 rpm) ...

MyNameIsZjefOP•1/25/25, 4:18 PM

That's what you said yesterday. But today I checked my dashboard and my drives don't even come close to capacity. They do like 20-30% of the reading and writing speed.

Only when starting the docker container they go to 100% for a short moment then go back to 20-30%

Tempest•1/25/25, 4:19 PM

IOPS is different than transfer speed

MyNameIsZjefOP•1/25/25, 4:19 PM

Sorry if my questions are stupid, I just don't understand the entire linux/docker composition. And got it all working, but the jobs just take too long. That's why I was looking into the Jobs & Workers way.

TTempest IOPS is different than transfer speed

MyNameIsZjefOP•1/25/25, 4:19 PM

How can I check that?

MMyNameIsZjef How can I check that?

Tempest•1/25/25, 4:20 PM

what model of hdds are you using?

Tempest•1/25/25, 4:28 PM

5400rpm: ~50-100 IOPS
7200rpm: ~75-150 IOPS

MyNameIsZjefOP•1/25/25, 4:36 PM

This is just when I start the immich_server and have all the jobs on.

Tempest•1/25/25, 4:36 PM

your drives looked maxed...

MyNameIsZjefOP•1/25/25, 4:39 PM

So there is no way I can do all the calculating work on my PC where I have good specs and SSD's. And later move all this to the NAS.

Because it's only now, with the start that it needs all the computing power to get the thumb-metadata-face detection-etc etc etc.
