I run immich on a very old dell laptop with 100mbps ethernet with USB connected disks for data. The disks are formatted ext4 and the dell runs fedora. (Immich doesn’t run on FreeBSD yet. :( ).

This required copying about 500GB of data from the USB disk to my FreeBSD server before I could switch over.
