# Hosting the machine-learning service on another system
To alleviate [performance issues on low-memory systems](/docs/FAQ.md#why-is-immich-slow-on-low-memory-systems-like-the-raspberry-pi) like the Raspberry Pi, you may also host Immich's machine-learning container on a more powerful system (e.g. your laptop or desktop computer):
- Set `IMMICH_MACHINE_LEARNING_URL` to point to the designated ML system, e.g. `http://workstation:3003`.
- Copy the following `docker-compose.yml` to your ML system.
- Start the container by running `docker-compose up -d` or `docker compose up -d` (depending on your Docker version).
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
immich-machine-learning:
container_name: immich_machine_learning
image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learning:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
volumes:
- model-cache:/cache
restart: always
ports:
- 3003:3003
volumes:
model-cache:
```
Please note that version mismatches between both hosts may cause instabilities and bugs, so make sure to always perform updates together.
