Any idea how much it uses when you're not uploading new pictures?

If it just needs it on occasion (and I can control when by not uploading at times where I'm using it for other purposes), that would probably be worth it since I have the spare capacity 99% of the time

I think you can disable machine learning stuff in the settings. And yes, you can control when the sync happen, or even have it only triggered manually and never automatically.

My instance when not running any photo/video processing job:

- immich server: cpu: 0.51% ram: 753MiB

- immich redis: cpu: 0.48 ram: 19.64MiB

- immich machine learning: cpu: 0% ram: 209.3MiB

That's not little RAM, I wonder if it keeps the model on stand-by, but ~1GB is definitely more reasonable than 4-6! Thanks for sharing!

Forgot to add immich_postgres which uses ~222 MB of ram. If you already has a postgres running somewhere, you might be able to reuse it as long as its version >= 14 with pgvector installed.
