How do I enable hardware acceleration for ml and transcoding?

I have a ds224+ with Intel Celeron J4125. I read on reddit that they were able to enable hw accelaration on this nas but forgot how they did it. Please help me with setting up this part of compose.yml: services:...

Android app not resolving immich API calls

On browser for both desktop and android Immich is resolved correctly (can log in, can click and enlarge images) but on the Android app DNS fails for some reason. The DNS is dictated by tailscale and as I said, Immich works on browser. I think this has to do with how the app is resolving domain names not using the VPN DNS and using DHCP DNS instead? also is likely a duplicate of https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/15547 since it works fine directly via IP...

Smart Search isn't working anymore

I've very inexperienced with Unraid/self hosting. My friend that knows more and helped me set it up isnt available to help tackle this issue. The problem started when I tried to upgrade the AI model. It was really inaccurate before and thought even with a super limited computing power it could be enhanced. Ever since I messed with that it just hasnt been working. (months ago) I would love to get some help getting this working again. I've attached a photo of my dockers and the logs from immich when I try to run a smart search scan. ...

Proxmox + Immich + Debian 12 VM - Immich becomes unreachable

Hey All! I am trying to install the latest Immich with default docker compose and .env files on a debian 12 VM hosted on proxmox. I am able to get the service to launch and work, but after 5-10 min the service is unreachable from another host. But if i curl 127.0.0.1:2283 i am able to get index.html. I have completly turned off my firewall, reinstalled 3 seperate times on full new VMs same symptoms. No errors in the logs, and the services appear to all be functional. Just not accessible from another host. If i reboot the immich docker instance I will regain access from an external host for 5-10m and then it does it again...

Unable to upgrade from unknown version. Hot mess inside.

So I don't know what version I was running before this mess started. What I do know is according to my mobile app, I was successfully syncing photos up until July 30th. I tried to upgrade to latest release but the server container does not start, I see
/bin/bash: line 1: start.sh: command not found

TrueNAS Immich migration

I had to reinstall the Immich app in Truenas after my upgrade to Electric Eel. Not sure if this matter, but I was not able to upgrade TN before the deadline. Therefore, the Immich app was removed after the upgrade. After following this guide completely: https://main.preview.immich.app/docs/install/truenas/ I was able to rsync the old folders over to a new dataset, but the app in TrueNas is stuck in a deploy loop and never eventually starts. I noticed this error in the logs: ...

NO_COLOR=true and immich_machine_learning

I do collect all my logs from my docker containers in some log aggregation solution, and the NO_COLOR=true environment variable appears to not be respected by the immich_machine_learning container, causing logs like this:
[08/27/25 19:11:01] INFO Loading recognition model 'buffalo_l' to memory

Partner's items and timeline/search

By default items shared to you by a partner arent in the timeline and thus not searchable, or face-indexable, etc How is that when we choose to use those items in the timeline? Is this just a question of css hide/show (unlikely?) or does it then actually process those, face- and ml-index them, etc? I could just try it of course but I am afraid of the implications, since I do not want those images in my timeline on long term, it is more out of the curiosoty as of how it would behave if I where to add them to the timeline....

GPU usage with UGREEN DXP2800

Hello, I’ve been using Immich for about a month. I installed it via Docker, on Portainer, running on my Ugreen DXP2800 NAS. To start learning and testing, I set it up by linking my existing photo and video folders (around 9TB of data) as external read-only libraries....

"Backup Albums" wiped

This is at least the second time the Android Immich app has broken in such a way that "Backup Albums" has reset to "None selected". This is a problem because I don't remember which albums to pick, and because every folder with images is treated as an album in a single unsorted giant lost to scroll through rather than a file browser. The background services were turned off too. I didn't do it myself. New images have also stopped appearing in the list. I noticed that a video I recorded didn't appear on the server, even after I charged my phone out of battery saver range, so I opened the app to find it was broken....

Help with adding external library

Complete newbie here. New to docker too. I have a ds224+ and have been using synology photos for a while. I want to try out immich and link my synology photos dir as an external library to immich. Is my compose.yml correct? https://logs.notifiarr.com/?3ea6cd0209ac5536#GzLaWtfuGUwMHZrcUwJyjkTMdi8dNVjTFPCv7JL8o65a...

is it possible to have a true 1:1 sync with my phone’s gallery?

Quick question: is it possible to have a true 1:1 sync with my phone’s gallery, where photos deleted on the phone are also removed from the server? Thanks in advance!...

Manually added faces.

I have a couple of high res photos taken by my drone from a distance. I can clearly see my friends faces in the image as they looking at the drone. They are a bit far away but as said, clearly visible with good quality. I have a lot of other photos of them that Immich picked up easily and sorted correctly. I don't know why it doesn't pick them up in those specific photos but i added them manually and made the box perfectly surrounding their heads so now they at least get sorted correctly. When I do this manually, will it kind of "teaching" the machine learning in some way and in the future if I have similar photos with a bit of distance, it would pick them up easier? Like the more photos of a person grouped togheter (auto or manually found), the better the machine learning process becomes? 🤔...

Unraid, immich_model-cache keeps growing.

I am running Immich on a x86 Unraid server, and the docker volume 'immich_model-cache" keeps growing. I am using the "imagegenius" setup from the Unraid App section the pulls from "ghcr.io/imagegenius/immich" I have 1483 images, and 61 videos. If to keep all the features, I have to map it to a host directory, thats fine, I just need to know how. If there is a way to clear or clean the folder, I am open to that too. It is currently preventing me from updating Immich.

Redis Auth Issue After Switching to Valkey – Immich Won’t Start

Hey folks! 👋 I’ve been running Immich smoothly for about 6 months, but recently it stopped working out of nowhere—looks like it’s choking on Redis auth. I’m not sure if I had already switched to Valkey or if that happened during the crash, but since then I haven’t been able to get it back online. Here’s the error I’m seeing: ``` ReplyError: WRONGPASS invalid username-password pair or user is disabled....

Video Thumbnails Not Showing in Browser

I have Immich (server version 1.9.20) installed via TrueNAS Scale on a Lenovo T480 laptop (8 cores, 16GB RAM). All thumbnails display fine when accessing the assets via the Immich app on my Android phone but when I access them via any browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc.) the don't display - instead, I get "Error loading image". Photo thumbnails display fine. It's the same when I share assets in an album - the other parties get the same issue for video thumbnails. The hover over preview works and the video plays if selected, so it seems it's just the thumbnails that don't render properly - see "Screenshot from 2025-08-27 09-26-45.png". When I first installed Immich (several months ago) I had no such issues but it seems to have started during one of the Immich upgrades....

Stale, vulnerable base image being used?

Hi, I noticed that current releases' images have a bazillion vulnerabilities. I looked a little closer and did a dev build which is using a base image that is built on a stale and unpatched debian 13: │ ghcr.io/immich-app/base-server-dev:202508191104@sha256:0608857ef682099c458f0fb3- │ debian │ 6602 │ - │ │ 19afdcaf09462bbb5670b6dcd3642029f12eee1c (debian 13.0) │ │ │ │ (trivy) I rebuilt the base image myself and all the vulns are gone. Is something stuck in your CI/CD so it's not building vs a recent patched base?...
