Comment on How to download Google Takeout zips?

This worked pretty well for me, although constructing the cli command took a little elbow grease. This video proved to be very helpful.
Here’s the commands I ended up using:
Testing Upload Process
Before performing the actual upload, test the process with this command:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -dry-run -google-photos takout-*.zip
Actual Upload
Once testing is successful, perform the full upload:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [put your apikey here w/o brackets} upload -google-photos takout-*.zip
Remove Duplicates
If you’ve previously uploaded photos before syncing your phone, remove duplicates with:
immich-go.exe -server http://[server.ip:port} -key [apikey} duplicate -yes

Excellent! This is my next question.
I’ve already partially synced my Google Photos library by installing Immich on my Android phone and enabling Immich backups. But I see that the oldest photo in Google Photos is way older than what Immich has.
So now I’m worried that when I run
immich-go
with the full takeout archives, I’m going to get a ton of duplicates because half of my library is already on immich.What’s the
duplicate
command? I can’t find it in the CLI…paequ2@lemmy.today 1 week ago
OK! Migration complete! Everything went fine. I think the
duplicate
command might be from an older version? Idk. I just ranimmich-go upload from-google-photos
and the de-duplication happened automatically.
