As this is version 3.0.0, I'll wait a bit before upgrading.

    I was just thinking about this the other day: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/tree/main/docker

    Make sure to use the docker-compose.yml of the current release: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml

    The compose file on main may not be compatible with the latest release.

    I definitely have not been checking for updates on the compose files on any of my self hosted apps... I probably should...

    My upgrade path was breaking by deployment a few weeks ago, seeing the v3 was around the corner and just starting again :)

    Sad to see the I can't make a workflow to add photos to an album based on face recognition. Wanted that you have a family album

    As an FYI to people who are upgrading and use a preexisting postgres database If you still use pgvecto.rs (if the command \dx on the immich database responds with vectors not vector) you will need to install both pgvector and vectorchord in order to continue using immich. This will require restarting your postgres instance at least once if not twice.

    It threw me for a loop at first because of the similar naming. Just thought I would share.

    Make sure you take a backup. Changing the docker container nuked my db. Had to restore from a backup

    Isnt that only relevant to users that started with a very old setup guide?
    I started in the still-beta stage (I'd say 20-30 updates before the 1.0.0 release) and already had the immich version of the postgre vector container in the compose template.

    I'm not sure, I was running 2.7.5 myself but i am not sure what version of immich I started with. I didn't think this would effect fully docker setups much. I think this would mostly effected people who had configured with a preexisting database. I believe the docker edition with postgres built in upgraded for you awhile back unless you supplied an environment variable telling it to do otherwise.

    Why don’t they support Background Resource Upload PhotoKit API on iOS?

    They have a new api that lets photos be backed up in the background similar to how the photos app does with iCloud. But… Immich cannot use it because Apple say you have to hard code the URL. That doesn’t work for self hosting.

    Ahahaha, nice. Loosely reminds me of how we looked at implementing share-to-app (when that was a novel thing) in a mobile OS circa 2011 and we looked at how iOS did it. It was a list of hardcoded targets - Facebook, Twitter. No pluggability no nothing. Our product team was like - if no pluggability is good enough for Apple, it's good enough for us!

    How so?
    By operating a relay? Then it wouldnt be 100% selfhost and be dependant on immich being accessible at all times.

    Yes, exactly. But at least you can have an e2e encrypted relay as syncthing does.

    This problem is similar to the one faced by Matrix on iOS, and they provide the notification service. All of your conclusions apply though.

    Ooh, the workflows idea is interesting.

    What I really want is for my photos to expire.

    Most of the photos I take are junk photos: a picture of a receipt, a picture of a sprinkler model number, a picture of a random bug I saw while I was cleaning the pool. I just need these photos once and then I never need them again. I wish they would go away on their own.

    Of course, there are also times when I do want to keep pictures, birthdays, vacations, etc.

    I wish Immich (or someone) would create a camera with a switch that allows you to pre sort images into albums: permanent vs temporary

    Of course, the Big Tech guys would never do this because they want you to store all of that junk on their clouds.

    But, Immich could actually help trim junk.

    In iOS there is an app called ShutterDeclutter that every day shows you the all photos you took on that day of the year in your collection and has a swipe left/right to delete or keep each one. It makes the job of reviewing photos manageable for people with multi decade long albums. I really want Immich to add that feature.

    I just use a different camera app for those kind of pictures (receipts, etc). That camera app is configured to save pix to a location that doesn't get backed up.

    You don't need to delete them entirely. You can convert a 5MB/22 megapixel JPEG to a 500KB/2 megapixel AVIF that looks 95% as good when viewed on a phone screen.

    Of course, I have no idea if immich can do this. It would be nice though.

  • source

    I just delete images when I'm scrolling.

    I see your point but I don't struggle enough to have a seperate shutter app that auto deletes images.

    Also, when deleting a photo, it's stored for another 30days. You can easily come back a couple of days later in case you still need the photo.

    I think that would actually be doable in immich.
    I've read that there is a regex step.
    And you could also sort it into albums.
    And assuming you can get the info from the API how old an asset and in which album it is (or just parse the items in an album asset group, it can be scriptable to purge items.

    All the HEIC files from my camera are still busted.

    To be fair, its a tricky issue. Its camera makers' fault for using a format no one else wants to touch, and rendering them as HDR files instead of SDR with gain maps, as is standard practice for smartphones.

    ...But still, its annoying. They render fine on my iPhone, on Windows, or KDE Linux, out of the box. But they're completely garbled in Immich :(

    I've really wanted to ditch JPEG. It's a 34 year old format.

    The problem is that AVIF, JPEG-XL and HEIC/HEIF don't work in many places. At a minimum I would want them to display in my gallery app (currently Nextcloud memories), display in a browser, and have native support at an OS level (i.e thumbnail previews). Neither format comes close to this.

    I may even move away from Nextcloud over it. I didn't want to deploy docker just for immich (I love LAMP, btw). However Nextcloud is SO MUCH maintenance compared to the 50 other services running on my server.

    JXL is working alright for me.

    As an example with a lot of dynamic range, here's a JXL:

    JXL image should be here

    AVIF:

    AVIF image should be here

    Both render in my desktop and iPhone browsers, just fine. I bet at least one renders for you. And I made them from RAWs from a really old camera!

    The problem is, as you say... arbitrary lack of support. As an example, I can't upload either file to Lemmy. Brand new social media software, and it doesnt' recognize JXL or AVIF as valid image types, even though they should render just fine? Most image hosts wont take JXL either, hence I had to upload them to litterbox since catbox is down!

    An HEIF, on the other hand, has basically 0 support outside of Apple:

    HIF Image should be here

    All three of these render correctly on my phone, but only the top two do on other devices.

    At a minimum I would want them to display in my gallery app (currently Nextcloud memories), display in a browser,

    there's a new push to support JPEG-XL in Firefox. it got a labs toggle recently so you can enable it for yourself. I think chrome has done something too.

    and have native support at an OS level (i.e thumbnail previews). Neither format comes close to this.

    what OS do you use? KDE flavoured linux handles it fine. probably not KDE specific though.

    I saw the JXL article recently. It's good progress. Didn't a major browser remove JXL support after it was added?

    I'm on Ubuntu gnome. I think the biggest outlier was LibreOffice, which didn't support any modern formats.

    yes, chrome, a few years ago. google wanted to push its own inferior format

    I think the biggest outlier was LibreOffice, which didn't support any modern formats.

    that's possible it does not use the system libraries for that. but the system file manager and system gallery app should support it, and anything that uses the same libs

    Which distro are you using?

    My NAS is running Arch (btw) and I have Immich installed baremetal because someone's nicely maintaining it in the AUR... would need a little work to convert that script into something for another distro...

    Ubuntu server.

    I found a dude maintaining a deb repo. I might give that a shot.

    It's kinda nuts that people have got it working and fully automates the packaging, but immich haven't taken it on.

    The upgrade was pretty trivial from 2.7.5. Minimal changes in the docker compose file if your was up-to-date on 2.7.5. Mostly version changes. No changes needed to .env other than going to v3.

    I just want it to not delete things of NFS goes down.

    Edit: Also, manual steps for a containerized update are dumb. All these manual steps should be handled in migrations. I have started a discussion on this: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/29513

    that's a pretty bad flaw. mounts could disappear for many reasons, not only NFS but any kind of mount.

    Yea, Iove Immich, but this almost got me. It moves them to trash unless the volume comes back in 30 days. If 30 days go by, you lose all metadata, scanned people, etc. I was out of town when it happened.

    Quick question -- why's the official Docker compose using a PostgreSQL image four versions out of date? I'm running postgres:18 everywhere else, these days.

    https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml

      database:
