Smart search / facial recog. error : embedding.join() is not a function

Hello all, hope you are well. Firstly, I am a newbie in unix and self hosting overall. I recently installed immich-server on my Rasp 4, working really good with the interface and uploads etc. Until then, I had deactivated immich machine learning as my poor RPI 4 wouldnt be able to handle it. Instead, I chose to install it on my big gaming setup rolling on RTX 3060 ti, i7-10700K Win 11. Right now, Immich-ML is running on docker on windows with WSL, logs seem fine. It downloaded the models requiered as set on immich server on its own. As I try to load it with facial recognition tasks, I see that it receives a consequent amount of data and also returns some, which makes me believe that the immich ML side works properly. However, as I trigger a smart search or a facial recognition from the interface (so from immich server), nothing happens back (search fails, facial recognition shows no change) even though packages were sent and the process seem to have happened immich ML side. logs, docker compose and env down below

Immich server logs DEBUG level. Action : from a picture, I clicked "update faces" to trigger facial recognition. Immich ML received data. Imich ML returned the data. Immich server logged this :

Thank you for your help

bo0tzz•3mo ago

Make sure the remote ml container is on the same version as the server

timepastequeOP•3mo ago

Okay, is there a command to execute in immich ML to check this ?

bo0tzz•3mo ago

No, but you can use docker inspect to view what version of the image it's running

timepastequeOP•3mo ago

Seems like it might be the pb Here is some details of the inspect of immich ML

bo0tzz•3mo ago

"org.opencontainers.image.version": "v1.125.7-cuda"

Seems correct

timepastequeOP•3mo ago

1.125.7 on the interface, it semes like ver is 1.124.2 My immich is setup from portainer; I tried repulling but didnt seem to update to 1.125

bo0tzz•3mo ago

Ah, there's the problem then There was a breaking change between ML and server in the 1.125 updates, but you've got it the other way around from what I've seen so far so that confused me :P I don't know anything about portainer; but updating the server should fix this

timepastequeOP•3mo ago

okay i might be missing the basics about keeping a container up to date 💀 maybe from watchtower it is possible to update also ?

bo0tzz•3mo ago

You shouldn't use watchtower for Immich right now

timepastequeOP•3mo ago

huh :monakS: Finally managed to update, it seems to work ! omg I was planning on using watchtower to auto update everything

schuhbacca•3mo ago

Don't do that, you need to read the release notes before updates or can brick something if there's a breaking change
