Starting the same immich server from 2 operating systems on Dual boot PC

Hello, I have a dual boot PC with Ubuntu and WIndows 11 instaled. I primarily have my immich installed in windows via wsl. The drive on which all immich files are present is a 3rd drive apart from where ubuntu and windows are installed. Is it possible to start the same server from ubuntu

Updating from v1.125.7 to latest(v1.138) What should I do?

Hello team, Lately, I have been postponing the upgrade from the above-mentioned version, as there are so many breaking changes currently. Can anyone guide me on the best approach to upload? I am currently building a second PC for backup purposes. Currently, I have backed up with an external HDD the important pictures and database. I don't want any issues with the upgrade process, but I am okay with the worst case. .env...

Backup does not work as expected

This is a long standing issue in the app. 1. I’ve both background and foreground backup turned on 2. when I open the app, and go to the backup section, it starts backing up 3. if I close the app, or just leave it open and use any other app, backup stops, and resumes at the last backing up pic if I bring the app back into foreground...

Hi all,

Update from 137.3 to 138.0, this time checking all the news and breaking changes before applying the update and all seems to be good to go to apply this update. So, after the update i'll get this error: home page ask me to start as a new user. I've often solved this error, changing docker-compose.yml a little bit (following instructions to do so from here and github users discussions) with portainer editor. Now, there are two different things i can see from my docker-compose and the new docker-compose, the first is this two lines after $DB_DATA_LOCATION line ...

Database died, Backup support

Setup: Windows Server 2022 > C:/ > Docker > U:/(larger external drive) > Immich. What happened: Power loss; upon restart, Immich started, but the external drive was not immediately connected. Being that drive U:/ no longer existed, Immich started as a new install on C:/. >. After powering up U:/, Immich was still stuck thinking its was freshly installed....

Why is immich uploading every file twice?

It uploads every file twice. First run slow second run fast....

Long Videos take forever to load and have choppy playback

Hey I´m using immich since a long time and I know that playing long videos always took some time but it still worked. Now after updating to 1.136 its nearly impossible to even start the video. Other videos that are shorter (like 1 minute or so) are playable without any problems but my 3 hour long video isnt working. I can´t skip forward and maybe after waiting for 1 minute I can watch 15 seconds of it and then it loads again.

Beta Timeline changing exif

Hello, it seems I’m getting a few issues with the beta timeline and it rewriting the date as the date uploaded instead of keeping the original date. This only seems to be happening for a maybe 25/2000 uploaded pictures, but it has thrown many to the top of my library as August 16th, 2025”. Any way I can troubleshoot to see if there’s possibly an issue with how I uploaded?

Question about back-up on iOS app

I've been manually exporting iCloud Photo albums (per year) to Immich (via ImmichGO). I am done with 2019. And so 4 years and current year to go. But I also want to enable back-up on the iOS app. But I am not sure what will happen if I add "Recents" as an album to back-up. It has 60k assets in it, which are compressed with "optimize storage". Will it: - download originals, upload en go on with the next? - back-up compressed (optimized) versions? - back-up only full downloaded assets and ignore the rest?...

is this a safe way to expose immich?

I'm looking for some advice on how to safely expose my Immich instance. My goal is to only allow public access to shared albums and media, while keeping the main Immich login page private. I am aware of the immich-proxy service, but I'd prefer to avoid it and expose the main application's share links directly. The UI for the shared albums in the main app is awesome, and I'd really like to keep using it. To achieve this, I'm planning to use Traefik with Pangolin to create path-based rules with the following logic:...

Can not connect to immich except through the host machine?

I can access the app from the machine that the docker container is running on but when I switch to another computer/phone/tablet connected to the same network I receive a server is unreachable error. using the default docker-compose and the .env is the example except to map the storage locations.

Error connecting to Remote Machine Learning instance running on WSL

Hey! I've been scouring the internet for anyone talking about this issue, but I can't seem to find much on a solution. I have my Immich stack running on my server pc, which doesn't have a dedicated GPU, so I set up a wsl2 docker desktop environment for remote machine learning on my home pc which has a RTX 2080 Super, hoping to leverage some of it's computational power. I currently have my Immich set to use the remote machine learning container, and the local machine learning container as shown in the image. However, no smart search jobs are being processed, and when i check the logs for my immich_server container, I see a bunch of: "Machine learning request to "http://192.168.1.119:3003" failed: fetch failed"...

Migrating external libraries to internal libraries

I have a lot of images on the server that is hosting immich. I don't want to have to download them and upload them from another device in order to get them under the immich file structure I have setup. Is there a way to easily do this?

Migrating from 1.125.1 to latest -- nightmare

Hello. I am at a loss right now, as after I attempted to migrate to a newer version of Immich, all hell broke loose and I cannot get my old instance back up and running anymore either. Currently, I stored all my data (in truenas scale) on a dataset called echo2/immich. When looking in this dataset, there is a folder with some form of UUID and a few DB backups in tar.gz files. This file structure is completely different from the one that is shown in the documentation as well as the new version itself. I created a new container with the latest release and attempted to migrate the subfolders in the "UUID folder" over to the library folder, however this didn't yield any results. I didn't do a GREAT job explaining this, but if anyone can help that would be tremendous. At this point, I just need to get the old files imported into a new instance....

Filter by upload status?

On the mobile app, is there a way to show only images that have already been uploaded (or conversely not been uploaded)? Sometimes the cloud icon is really hard to see if it has a check mark or not. Minor issue though….Immich is amazing!!!...

Reverse geocoding way off

So I have lots of pictures from Tokyo Japan but the reverse geocoding seems to be way off. What I mean is: this photo was taken in Odaiba and the map also shows it correctly. But the location name is off by a large margin. Azabu Juban is another part of the city entirely. It’s a standard docker install of the current version. How can I improve this?
