Raspberry

Immich is an easy to install and use app that works well with the Pi5. By default you will have it run on the SD card but yesterday I finally found an NVMe drive at a reasonable price so I swapped the AI kit for a 521 NVMe drive.It was detected with ease so I formatted the hard drive. I then used GRsync to move the photos from the SD card to the NVMe drive.

For those that are wondering whether you can use a Raspberry Pi 5 with four gigabytes of RAM as a desktop replacement the answer is “not really”. I know I should have said this at the end but I prefer to tell people immediately. The OS For this experiment I am running Raspberry Pi OS, the version released: 2024-03-15. I have no doubt that Raspberry Pi OS Lite and Ubuntu Server would be fine.
