Exactly. Imagine if all those orders weren’t mobile, and were in fact local. The queue would be insane, visually. Now you only have the queue mentally. Either way the solution is more workers.

I switched to Immich and will never look back.

On my Fritzbox, I needed to add all my Subdomains to a list under:

DNS Rebind Protection Your FRITZ!Box suppresses DNS responses that refer to IP addresses in its own home network (DNS rebind protection). Here you can specify exceptions for which DNS rebind protection should not apply. Do this by entering the complete name of the host (domain name including the subdomain) in the list.

That’s under network settings, advanced. In case you have that.

I use a HDD for my immich instance. I have a feeling it might have made the initial import process quicker (complete google photos dump). However, general usage, I have found zero bottlenecks.
