best way to import 26 years of photos and video ? (45k items)

[hugodu21]

Hello,

Its now 3 day that im importing my photo library. (26 years and around 45k items photos and videos)

I use immich "docker version" 2.7.0 (docker desktop) Im facing many problems:

• CPU load (client side and server side)
• Hard drive load
• Docker Hang (have to stop the docker and restart)
• Docker VHD file exploding the C drive

I proceed this way:
just dropped the main directory of my photos in the immich web interface.

To avoid thoses problems im proceeding year by year (variying number of photos from 2k to 5k)

I try stoping some recognition process and other queues but it did not help so much...

How do you proceed?

Thanks for your help
