If i'm reading this correctly, can run Immich from a Raspberry Pi 4? That's pretty cool.

I bought all the stuff (new case, networking card and a Jonsbro N4 to repurpose some intel i7-9700 era processor and motherboard, but didn't get it setup yet, as I was starting to rethink the power consumption....

Also looking to use this rebuild as an opportunity to learn Nix.

Let me know if you all have some good article references, to point me at. I've been doing some research, but could always do more.

I may end up putting a low power NUC in the case, or something. I don't know...

Yes! It runs completely fine on a Pi, except for the machine learning service. The good news is that you can run that service on a separate computer with a GPU and point Immich to it. Immich will use it when it's available and I think you can configure it to run all the queued ML jobs at a certain time when you expect the computer running the ML service to be on.

You can, I am self-hosting Immich via Docker on Raspberry Pi 4 with small SSD and it's nothing but good experience so far (but I keep the photos backed up elsewhere just in case, I use Immich mostly to share curated sets of photos)
