They have Synology NAS, but they wait when I set up some stuff. They have images on one of the drives and we were able to display via network on old tv, but I feel like more stuff could be added.
They talked about cameras in the future too.
This guy does a lot with Synology NAS:

every time I try to install Immich on my Synology it freezes the entire machine due to straining CPU and RAM resources. it’s probably due to the machine learning model, but I’ve given up on it for now
Yeah, I had the same issue, but I did get it running. I disabled ML, and set most tasks to use a batch size of one. Later I bumped some of them back up.
good to know it’s possible, I’ll try your suggestion. I’ve also heard you can offload the machine learning to a GPU on your network, might have to give that a shot
Yup, I did exactly that. I’ll probably just move Inmich to a mini PC or something eventually
Synology
I’ve never had a Synology so I don’t know. I have 5 really old 4 bay ReadyNAS filled with 10 TB drives, and you can’t install really anything but maybe SMB and CouchPotato which has more than likely been superseded by something far better.
Probably an *arr stack, nextcloud, and tailscale.
Drive is nice.
The photos mobile app is OK.
Jellyfin on the native docker app works.
I can’t imagine the video transcoding is very good. Is that an issue?
It depends. Some have CPUs with iGPU. If you enable hardware support it’s fine for about two streams. Also, transcoding isn’t needed a whole lot. Most devices support native formats.
