The bug

As requested in Discord, Im submitting this issue here in order to request to have warnings added to the FAQ for users who are installing Immich on Raspberry Pi systems.

Default immich deployment includes machine learning containers, however in my experience this slows the raspberry pi (4 in my case) down to the point the machine becomes completely unresponsive for indefinite periods of time.

Commenting out the machine learning container from docker-compose.yml and updating the .env file with IMMICH_MACHINE_LEARNING_URL=false fixed the problem for me. The pi is once again responsive and usable again even under heavy load from syncing many files.
