Hosting the machine-learning service on another system

To alleviate performance issues on low-memory systems like the Raspberry Pi, you may also host Immich's machine-learning container on a more powerful system (e.g. your laptop or desktop computer):

  • Set IMMICH_MACHINE_LEARNING_URL to point to the designated ML system, e.g. http://workstation:3003.
  • Copy the following docker-compose.yml to your ML system.
  • Start the container by running docker-compose up -d or docker compose up -d (depending on your Docker version).
version: '3.8'

services:
  immich-machine-learning:
    container_name: immich_machine_learning
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learning:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    volumes:
      - model-cache:/cache
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 3003:3003

volumes:
  model-cache:

Please note that version mismatches between both hosts may cause instabilities and bugs, so make sure to always perform updates together.
