People thumbnails refreshed overnight

Has anyone else had any issues with their face thumbnails resetting after the v1.125.2 update?
It seems at midnight all my people thumbnails updated but I have no idea why.
What steps can I take to check why they got updated?

I got the attached errors at around the same time.

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 8:30 AM

I think these errors are just specific files not finding the face area. I don’t think they help identify what caused all my face thumbnails to refresh.

Mraedis•1/25/25, 1:28 PM

I've not heard about this, no. Is updating all you did, no folders moved, nothing?

MMraedis I've not heard about this, no. Is updating all you did, no folders moved, nothin...

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:34 PM

Yes that’s all I did. Changed the Immich version and let it update.
I’ve not made any changes to Immich in the last few months.

I don’t know if it’s helpful but almost all of my people thumbnails were manually set using the ‘Set as featured photo’ option. I can’t be sure but it seems like only the ones I set manually using this option have been changed.

I also import all my face tags from Digikam tags. None of them are set via Immich.

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:35 PM

I haven't updated let so let me do that real quick and see

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:35 PM

By real quick I mean "please wait for my slow internet to complete the download"

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:36 PM

no rush

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:38 PM

Nope, assigned pictures are still the same

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:39 PM

Are you using external libraries perhaps?

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:39 PM

I am, would that cause an issue?

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:40 PM

It shouldn't, but I'm thinking maybe you assigned pictures from these libraries?

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:41 PM

And there was perhaps some hiccup where the libraries were offline and thus new pics were selected

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:41 PM

Just trying to see if I can explain the behaviour

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:41 PM

It’s possible. The external library is on a local drive so it’s expected it would never be offline

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:42 PM

As in, the computer is on so Immich and the drive are both online

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:42 PM

Sure sure, but there is still the docker - volume mount thing

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:42 PM

linux server? Windows?

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:43 PM

The external library is mounted to the Immich docker container as a volume. Docker is on Ubuntu

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:44 PM

I'm going to tag in the admins to see if they have any ideas or maybe we need to make an issue out of this

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:45 PM

Is it all face thumbnails that changed?

Mraedis•1/25/25, 3:45 PM

Or are all pictures on the external libraries anyway?

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:47 PM

It seems to be all face thumbnails. Or at least almost all of them that I can tell. Interestingly the id of the thumbnail in the db didn’t change (I checked a backup).
All pictures are on external libraries and I’ve had no issues with them other than the changing of the face thumbnails.

Can you share your compose and env?

bo0tzz•1/25/25, 3:48 PM

I noticed the same on my instance today, assumed it was due to the update, I haven't looked into it yet

bo0tzz•1/25/25, 3:48 PM

No external libraries on my end

ZZeus Can you share your compose and env?

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:49 PM

I can. Let me get to my computer and send them over. Give me 20 minutes

STRBramleyOP•1/25/25, 3:55 PM

Let me know if you need anything else

Not that it should matter much, but you don't need these for your ML container:

Thanks. Anything to make my compose simpler
