Need this done for your project?
We implement, you ship. Async, documented, done in days.
Sizing reality
PhotoPrism is heavy. AI indexing of a large library uses significant CPU and RAM. Recommended: 4 vCPU 8 GB RAM 160 GB NVMe for small libraries (10000 photos), 8 vCPU 16 GB RAM with large storage for substantial libraries. CUDA is supported but rarely available on offshore VPS - plan CPU-based indexing.
Stack
PhotoPrism Docker container, MariaDB or SQLite backend, Nginx reverse proxy. Storage scales with library size; allocate generously or attach external block storage.
Anubiz binding
Anubiz offshore VPS plans from $39.90/mo for PhotoPrism-suitable tier. Larger storage plans for serious libraries. Crypto payment, no KYC. Internal links: /en/hosting-for-immich-offshore, /en/hosting-for-nextcloud-offshore.
Backup is non-negotiable
Family photos cannot be re-created. Encrypted offsite backup with restic or borg to a second offshore VPS. Test restores."
