How to tell import progress
Brand new docker installation on OSX Sequoia 15.4.1 old M1 Mac Mini. Looked good. Then I imported a few images. Looked good. The I pointed immich-go at a folder of 77,000 images. After about 5 hours it had sucked them all in and was generating thumbs. Now it has been running for 24 hours with the machine learning module at around 400%. Is there any way of telling how far along it is? If I shut it down will it continue when I restart? Should I import in batches instead? If yes, how big should the batches be. Is there a recommended best practice3 for large imports?
As I said, everything seems to be working. If I point the browser at it I do not see any images yet, just rectangles and my browser times out waiting.
Thanks

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.Why do you want to shut it down? I'd think immich normally runs on a device that's always on?
It would restart on a nightly job, or you could manually restart it via "missing" jobs or similar
I don't. I was wondering ig it would restart where it left off after a crash so I thought about shuttiong down, taking a backup and the continuing. It is a spare machine and I do plan on keeping it running all of the time.
You can check the work and progress in the jobs tab of the administration section
Where does it show percentage complete? It finally finished the import and facial recognition of 77,000 images. Took about 36 hours. So I can delete this request.
It doesn't show a percentage because new jobs are queued all the time
You should keep track a little bit yourself for large batch uploads
For normal operation percentages are useless because they usually finish by the time you even open the queue page
