[Bug] • "Error connecting to server - check server address and port"

[TL;DR] : Don't forget any argument in your command. I forgot the --server key and it was the issue. Thx to jrasm91 :happ:

Hi fellas,
I'm using Immich (and i'm a true fan :prayge: ) since a few days
I uploaded everything from my phone BUT I did a google takeout to bulk upload and followed all the steps described on github.

Now, I wanna upload :

immich upload --key [NahThat'sMyKeyDon'tTouchIt]  http://192.168.0.10:2283/api  --recursive '/Users/onelots/Downloads/Takeout-1/output' -t 16

immich upload --key [NahThat'sMyKeyDon'tTouchIt]  http://192.168.0.10:2283/api  --recursive '/Users/onelots/Downloads/Takeout-1/output' -t 16

immich upload --key [NahThat'sMyKeyDon'tTouchIt]  http://192.168.0.10:2283/api  --recursive '/Users/onelots/Downloads/Takeout-1/output' -t 16

immich upload --key [NahThat'sMyKeyDon'tTouchIt]  http://192.168.0.10:2283/api  --recursive '/Users/onelots/Downloads/Takeout-1/output' -t 16

And I just get this :

Checking connectivity with Immich instance...
Error connecting to server - check server address and port

Checking connectivity with Immich instance...
Error connecting to server - check server address and port

Checking connectivity with Immich instance...
Error connecting to server - check server address and port

Checking connectivity with Immich instance...
Error connecting to server - check server address and port

:jerry: can anyone help me please ? :prayge: thanks

additional things :

My server works on the URL (photos.onelots.fr) and on the ip
/api/server-info/version = {"major":1,"minor":78,"patch":1}

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 5:07 PM

but Yeah

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 5:07 PM

i'm hitting /api

jrasm91•9/18/23, 5:08 PM

Where are you running this command from?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 5:09 PM

my terminal
Hm actually I'm in the google-photo-exif folder
the one I used to concatenate jsons and img

jrasm91•9/18/23, 5:10 PM

But on a separate machine? Immich is running on another machine on the network?

jrasm91•9/18/23, 5:10 PM

You can access immich via a browser from this same machine?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 5:10 PM

yep, okay I'm running the command on my mac, and my server is on the same network

jrasm91•9/18/23, 5:12 PM

It is accessible via http on that ip from you mac?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 5:13 PM

it is

jrasm91•9/18/23, 5:42 PM

You can login successfully?

jrasm91•9/18/23, 5:42 PM

This is via ip and 2283?

jrasm91•9/18/23, 5:42 PM

I'm not familiar with this browser and i do not see a port?

jrasm91•9/18/23, 5:43 PM

Is it using port 80?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 5:58 PM

I Can login successfully, and this is via IP and 2283 @jrasm91

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:24 PM

(or using the url, I have a reverse proxy so)

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:35 PM

And the CLI still is not working? Can you paste the full command?

Jjrasm91 And the CLI still is not working? Can you paste the full command?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:37 PM

nah it is not :Lavie_estdure:

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:38 PM

I posted it above, I re post it now

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:38 PM

immich upload --key [NahThat'sMyKeyDon'tTouchIt]  http://192.168.0.10:2283/api  --recursive '/Users/onelots/Downloads/Takeout-1/output' -t 16

immich upload --key [NahThat'sMyKeyDon'tTouchIt]  http://192.168.0.10:2283/api  --recursive '/Users/onelots/Downloads/Takeout-1/output' -t 16

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:40 PM

That doesn't make any sense. I feel like you are missing something you are not sharing, which is why it is hard to debug or you have a very strange error where networking is different between the browser and the request from the terminal

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

I agree with you

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

It doesn't make any fcking sense

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

I'm on the same network

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

wait

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

nah it's good

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

The api key is fine

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

Do you have any custom firewall or access rules?

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

And the error is still a network error?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

ah maybe an ufw

Jjrasm91 And the error is still a network error?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

yeah still

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:41 PM

Can you curl the API from the same terminal?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:42 PM

:Hitto:

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:43 PM

I'm gonna be crazy

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:43 PM

I know this reply is like "normal"

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:45 PM

And does the route /api/server-info/ping/api/server-info/ping work?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:46 PM

Jjrasm91 And does the route `/api/server-info/ping` work?

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:51 PM

it does, sadly
I don't understand where is the problem

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:51 PM

maybe the api key

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:51 PM

I'm gonna try to change it

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:53 PM

it doesn't work

Onelots.OP•9/18/23, 6:53 PM

:TktJsuisPasTriste:

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:54 PM

If the api key is invalid that would be really annoying if it gave a connection error

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:54 PM

If your key has weird characters in it, it might be not actually sending the expected value

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:54 PM

If it has $$, '', or "" it might be doing bash stuff.

jrasm91•9/18/23, 6:55 PM

You can try escaping it with '' on each side
