From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah nice, I was aware of the remote ML instance option but I didn't know it was optional, i.e. if it's there rely on it, if not still work. I thought it was either do ML locally ALL the time or do ML remotely all the time.
Is it just an optional ML endpoint on the NAS instance pointing to the ML only container on the more powerful machine on the same LAN?
Pretty much that - the NAS instance is running all the time, and there's a setting in Immich for the network address for the ML container(s) that accepts a comma (or semi colon) separated list, which is tried in order.
The docs mention that you can balance requests, but you'd have to use an external method for that at the moment.
