Just use the Synology NAS as NFS share. Mount the NFS share on your server with 256GB RAM and use it as bind volume mounts for immich.

Otherwise, run immich in the server only ans properly backup all volumes to the Synology NAS regularly. Use a backup solution that notifies you if something bricks.

You can find many more examples in my public repo with many compose examples:

Tor exit node. Too much legal stuff.

Various options:

• Raspberry Pi. However, although it can handle a lot of selfhosted stuff, some things won't be fast. Especially wazuh or nextcloud may be problematic. Also you are limited by ARM architecture and the price is not that beneficial anymore
• Some small form factor (SFF) servers from eBay. Something like Lenovo ThinkCell Tiny or Dell Optiplex Micro. As you will have a second NAS for storage, it will be fine that you can only put 1 HDD/SSD into those models
• A NUC from Minisforum. More pricey but new and plenty of power. Runs with 10W idle. I rock the HM90 EliteMini with 2 SSDs and one onboard NVME for proxmox as hypervisor OS.

Ensure to choose wisely. Especially regarding power consumption and hardware encoding capabilities (Looping at you jellyfin).

Otherwise, some summarized infos here:

BTW: I do not recommend running a Tor exit node.

• completely recreate your compose stack
• clear cache on all clients
• ensure that you properly followed the breaking changes of immich. There is no immich-web and immich-proxy anymore. The immich-server is solely handling the web app requests and api stuff.

Otherwise, with no logs or real details there is nothing I can help with. Maybe start by telling us your compose file and used reverse proxy + error logs.

I have a compose example of the older mealie. May have a try:
