Moving to new hardware
Hi!
I’m running Immich on an old Mac Mini with Ubuntu Server and Docker and the media all stored on an external HDD. This was mostly a test to see if I could set it up, and it worked, but the hardware is a barrier to smooth functioning. So I’ve bought a UGREEN NAS to run it from here on.
My goal is to:
1. Prepare the current system for the transfer.
2. Move to the NAS as the main interface running at first with the external HDD as is.
3. Slowly switch the database from the external HDD to the internal SSD
4. Repurpose the external HDD as cold storage backup
Does this sound like a logical plan? If there’s something key I’m missing, please fill me in.
Is there a guide out there somewhere to help me through this?
I’ve been told the UGREEN NAS can run Docker natively, so I don’t need to install Ubuntu. Any idea if that’s correct, and if there could be any potential problems from using their OS?
