Wait for 3.0.3 and then the emergency 3.0.4. 😅
uuj8za@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
LOL. Called it! 🤣
Nibodhika@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, even when jumping minor versions they tend to spend a few days/weeks pushing patches, I’ll wait a bit before updating.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago They already pushed 3.0.1
mctoasterson@reddthat.com 3 weeks ago
This is my thought also. v2.7.5 has been stable since April. I’m gonna stick with that for the moment.
altphoto@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
I updated and quickly found that phone wasn’t updating images. But then there was an update for the server and phone app very quickly.

uuj8za@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
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…
DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 3 weeks ago
In all honesty, immich’s very opinionated way of doing a compose file gives me so many headaches compared to pretty much every other docker app I use.

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
- avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
That’s probably coming too. This is the first preview of the feature.

As an FYI to people who are upgrading and use a preexisting postgres database If you still use pgvectors.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.
Osiris@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Make sure you take a backup. Changing the docker container nuked my db. Had to restore from a backup
- Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
As usual during upgrades where loosing data is not acceptable.
ragingHungryPanda@piefed.keyboardvagabond.com 2 weeks ago
are you using named volumes or mounting a directory for the data directory in postgres? If you changed the docker compose and lost data, you may have been using an ephemeral volume.
- Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
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.Pika@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I’m not sure, I was running 2.7.5 myself but i am not sure what version of immich I started with. I don’t think this would effect fully docker setups anyway, this would mostly effect people who had configured with a preexisting database. I think 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?
tmcgh@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Is that why my partners phone won’t upload her photos… So annoying
anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No

Restricted access? Am an Android user since 2008 and never had an iOS device.
anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago I mean, couldn’t we just use a different camera app altogether?
- Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Apple problems lol. And not even that.
Arent there even 3rd party camera tools? Or are they not permitted to use the whole hardware like Apple can?

WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I just want it to not delete things of NFS goes down.
that’s a pretty bad flaw. mounts could disappear for many reasons, not only NFS but any kind of mount.
Fmstrat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.

Most stable release to stay at for now.

Does anyone know if chunked upload has been implemented? Vital for who’s behind cloudflare
AzuraTheSpellkissed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Haven’t tested it, but according to the issue tracker: no.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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 :(
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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 is close to this.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
JXL is working alright for me.
As an example with a lot of dynamic range, here’s a JXL:
AVIF:
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:
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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.

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…

What are workflows?
ID10T@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
The first preview of Workflows is here! Workflows let you automate actions in your library by chaining triggers, filters, and actions together with a drag-and-drop builder. This is the foundation for many exciting automations to come, and we’d love your feedback as we continue building on it.
It’s a user-friendly way to say “when X happens, do Y”.
Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Brilliant thank you, I thought it was some AI site because I keep hearing it in context of new models. IFTTT essentially.
notsonymous@feddit.org 3 weeks ago Nice, in the process of backing up before upgrading my containers! :)
- avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
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.

Where is the f-droid client update that belongs to it?
Alfredolin@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
WARNING: current f-droid version is not compatible with latest server version!!
No extra repo and f-droid basic repo does not have it. I took it through obtainium and so had to delete/download the app and redo my settings…

chris@lemmy.grey.fail 2 weeks ago 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.
github.com/immich-app/…/docker-compose.yml
database: container_name: immich_postgres image: ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:14-vectorchord0.4.3-pgvectors0.2.0
suzune@ani.social 2 weeks ago It uses an unusual PostgreSQL extension. Maybe an update is not that trivial.
- chris@lemmy.grey.fail 2 weeks ago
Oh, thanks for the clarification. That makes sense.
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Container-free yet?
uuj8za@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
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.
BartyDeCanter@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
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.
xistera@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I use an app called Slidebox on iOS. Every Saturday I review the pictures I’ve taken with it and either swipe up to delete or send them to an album at the bottom, I only sync the sorted album with immich.

For Android there’s PhotoSwooper which works somewhat similar @uuj8za@piefed.social
AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This is an excellent idea.
electric_nan@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
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.
zeezee@slrpnk.net 3 weeks ago
which camera app do you use?
pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
jumponboard@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
