I'm not sure if this is what the 1st item on the checklist is about.

Can you please show a screenshot of the issue?

YYaros Can you please show a screenshot of the issue?

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 5:49 PM

Yaros•3/23/25, 5:50 PM

Oh yeah, you need to update the Immich server

Yaros•3/23/25, 5:51 PM

Did you install it using Docker using CLI (SSH)?

Yaros•3/23/25, 5:51 PM

If so, then run these commands from the directory where your docker-compose.ymldocker-compose.yml is located

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 5:53 PM

Will have to check when I’m front of the server. Thank you!

Yaros•3/23/25, 5:57 PM

No problem. By the way, if you didn't know. You can use SSH to remotely acceess your server's terminal. It's much more convinient than actually going to the physical server every time you want to upgrade something or just run some command

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:03 PM

I don’t know what that means

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:04 PM

I do use AnyDesk to remotely log in

Yaros•3/23/25, 6:09 PM

Oh ok

Yaros•3/23/25, 6:09 PM

Oh yea it's Windows not linux, my bad

Yaros•3/23/25, 6:10 PM

But you're running immich inside WSL on windows, right?

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:10 PM

Wsl2

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:11 PM

Right now I’m using immich-go on my 550gb google-photos export. I’ll tinker with it when it’s done, I’m afraid of touching the computer in the meantime!

Daniel•3/23/25, 6:12 PM

Before you wave goodbye to Google Photos please make sure you have solid backups and a better understanding of how things work.

Daniel•3/23/25, 6:12 PM

Otherwise things will go wrong

RRoger Wilco Right now I’m using immich-go on my 550gb google-photos export. I’ll tinker with...

Yaros•3/23/25, 6:15 PM

Yeah, definitely don't run the commands I sent above while photos are uploading, you'll corrupt stuff

DDaniel Before you wave goodbye to Google Photos please make sure you have solid backups...

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:16 PM

Oh yeah this is my trial run. Will run in parallel for a month or two.

Daniel•3/23/25, 6:16 PM

Do you already have plans for backups?

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:18 PM

I was looking at an external raid enclosure

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:21 PM

However right now I dumped everything on an internal HDD, and will either manually backup to external or lookup cronjobs

Daniel•3/23/25, 6:27 PM

Both aren't proper backup solutions

ImmichAPP•3/23/25, 6:28 PM

So when people say "x is not a backup tool" what they are actually saying is "you probably don't actually want a single point in time copy of your data", which is what that tool is doing.

And that "backup tools" exist today that:

can run on a schedule
only copy new/changed data (incremental)
keep track of changes over time in the backup, with the option to restore to a previous version

This gives you the ability to recover a file that was deleted some time ago, restore to a point prior to data corruption, etc., all while being space efficient (similar blocks are deduplicated)

Popular backup tools are restic and borg.

Daniel•3/23/25, 6:28 PM

Also, you should consider off-site backups.

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:29 PM

Yes I’m wondering how to do that cost-efficiently. Like running a small nas at someone else’s house

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 6:38 PM

Will look into restic and borg

Docker desktop on Windows is NOT reliable

Yaros•3/23/25, 6:44 PM

I would not use it

Zeus•3/23/25, 6:44 PM

Youre trying to do a 550GB upload on windows. Big F

Yaros•3/23/25, 6:44 PM

I would install whatever you want inside WSL2 (including docker)

Self-hosting will be more expensive than google photos

DDaniel Self-hosting will be more expensive than google photos

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 7:12 PM

Really? 14$/month just for images and videos.

I run this on a small beelink.

RRoger Wilco Really? 14$/month just for images and videos. I run this on a small beelink.

Daniel•3/23/25, 7:13 PM

Yes, if you account for hardware, energy, failing drives, backups

YYaros I would install whatever you want inside WSL2 (including docker)

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 7:13 PM

Will have to look up what that means. I don’t mind going 100% Ubuntu but a much bigger learning curve. All I want to do with this computer is Immich/plex/torrents

Zeus•3/23/25, 7:14 PM

The 2TB plan is USD10/month I’m not sure where you pay 14

ZZeus The 2TB plan is USD10/month I’m not sure where you pay 14

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 7:14 PM

Canada

Zeus•3/23/25, 7:14 PM

Got it. offsite backup + electric + hardware will cost well more than that

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 7:14 PM

Interesting.

ZZeus Got it. offsite backup + electric + hardware will cost well more than that

Daniel•3/23/25, 7:15 PM

Just copy paste my message, it's fine :Sadge:

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 7:15 PM

Well I’m paying for the hardware and electric already for plex

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 7:16 PM

The incrementality is Immich

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 7:16 PM

Biggest difference is I don’t need/want backup for plex. I can lose the data, not a problem. Photos/videos is a different story.

Roger WilcoOP•3/23/25, 7:17 PM

I see older synology NAS on marketplace, wouldn’t that count for a reliable backup if it’s setup as raid?

Zeus•3/23/25, 7:17 PM

Sure. If you’re dual purposing hardware that helps a lot

Zeus•3/23/25, 7:18 PM

Ideal is 3 copies with one being offsite. Such as backblaze B2 or wasabi (object storage)

RAID is not a backup
