I too am still unable to install Immich. Plex has installed (and it wouldn't for me before the Q2 update) so not sure why one would work and the other fail. Let me know if you found a fix.

Thank you for the reply! Wow ok - down to 4th gen makes me feel much better about getting something second hand and really cheap. I think I'll go down that route and just give it a go. On the CPU front will ANY CPU consume low power when it's idle? Or do you reap the benefits of a low TDP when idle too? I do want it to be low power when it's just sat there.

Newbi here - keen to learn by doing. I've run out of free cloud storage and I'm all in on becoming self relient for photo backups etc. Hopefully I can help out the rest of my family too. I'd also like to run an e.g. Valheim server for my mates (typically 4 of us). Lastly, I think I'd like to do some home automation stuff at some point down the road, but I haven't really started to learn about that stuff. My needs are obviously pretty low end. But here's the question: Do i build a NAS with second hand stuff I can find on marketplace, or do I use my current PC parts and upgrade instead? It feels like the CPU's going on marketplace in my area are still worse than what I've got, but only just...would I be daft to get second hand hardware that is...almost as old as what I'm currently running? Also most folks are wanting to sell whole systems which come with a bunch of stuff i don't want to pay for (GPU, old storage that I don't want to be touching etc.).

I guess I'm looking for value so if spending more is the right thing to do I'll do it, but equally I don't want to be wasting money on stuff I don't really need. Grateful for advice!
