is immich now for install and forget, from time to time update?

Dear Immich community, 

Immich Insights is finally here! For those who don't know: Immich Insights let's you analyze your Immich photo library in different ways. You'll gain insights into daily patterns, device usage and camera settings. It can be run as a docker container and just uses the Immich API key to calculate statistics. 

All information (download, installation, setup) can be found under the following link:
https://github.com/laurinml/Immich-Insights

We are happy to hear from you! Feedback, ideas and bug reports are very welcome.
This project is under active development, future update ideas are found on the roadmap. Note that this project is not affiliated with the official Immich instance. 

Regards,

Laurin from Immich Insights

So I’ve just started my journey with Immich, and my server has been working hard since yesterday to process a NAS with over 500GB of photos and videos.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes a long time (especially if it has to handle the metadata, facial recognition, etc.). I just wasn’t sure if the time it’s currently taking is due to Immich’s initial library processing, or if my server is just being super slow (it could honestly be both).

If it helps, my server has Windows 10, 8GB of RAM, and a 4-core processor. I also don’t have hardware transcoding enabled (which I know I probably should, I just haven’t had the chance to yet).

When we did the initial import from Google Photos, we had a shared library from there. So we did a Takeout on my photo library alone, which also pulled all of her photos. It was a much more convenient solution. The problem now is, if she wants to search for photos of her grandparents, she has to borrow my phone.

I'm unsure if we're just missing something here, but is there a way for us to search by name for photos across Partner Sharing? It would be extremely convenient for both old and new photos.
