Best VPS forImmich

Immich backs up a lifetime of photos and runs machine-learning search and face detection over them — so it wants real RAM, fast NVMe for the library and thumbnails, and generous bandwidth for the initial mobile upload. The goal is a box that ingests tens of thousands of photos without the ML jobs starving everything else.
