scaling without k8 - multiple microservice containers running
Context
Hi, i am looking to see if i can accelerate the initial scans/asset generation of immich by offloading workloads to a secondary pc. Immich currently lives on a machine that runs multiple services including plex. Immich is fairly cpu heavy and have found that this impacts plex pretty severely. I have also had times where i need to restart the server which impacts plex viewers. because of this im attempting to setup an immich-microservices container on my personal machine that has a faster CPU and nvidia card. There is little to no documentation at all regarding scaling microservices so i am trying to figure this out. Apologies if my thought process here is fairly rudimentary so feel free to let me know if there are better approaches to what i am attempting.
Questions
my understanding is that i should be able to set up two instances of immich on seperate machines on the condition that i map each to the same directories and leverage the same postgres db. I have done this. but result in the below error which i suspect is a postgres access issue
I have left out a lot of information due to discord limitations
