Immich api no longer accessible after multiple updates.
I have my older server running a slightly older instance of immich (maybe a year old). I leave it at my family's places so they can use it. I update it when I visit every few weeks just to keep it running smooth. About 2 months ago I updated it and the API quit working. I didn't have time to dig into it then. I went back 3 weeks ago and still the same issue. So I brought it back home with me to check out. I have updated the docker container to the most current image. I have run and just to make sure that wasn't. When I run I can see all the images for docker running, but I just don't have access to the web api.

I'm currently backing up all of the pics onto another server in case I need to just trash it and rebuild it.
Also, you may have to spell out things at a very low level for me. iamnoob
That compose file is incredibly old
Microservice container went away like 6 or 7 months ago at least
lol. that might explain why it stopped working after the update.
Yeah. You will want to update your compose for sure.
But also if you want to save this installation, you will need to read all the release notes with breaking changes up to the current version and implement all of those
I may just let it finish backing up these 117k pics, delete the old container, and build a new one and upload them via API. That seems like the most straight forward way
I would agree
Awesome. I'm going to go ahead an close this. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a CLI one liner that would make all my troubles go away. haha.
