Immich (Docker) compressing iPhone ProRAW DNG — how to preserve full original file?

Hi! I’m running the latest version of Immich in Docker on my NAS, and I’m backing up photos from my iPhone. I shoot in ProRAW, and I’ve noticed that the original files on my iPhone are around 60–90MB, but the DNG files uploaded to Immich are only about 2–3MB.

It seems Immich is receiving a compressed version of the ProRAW file, even though it’s still in DNG format — but the quality and metadata are clearly reduced.

Is there a way to ensure that the full, uncompressed ProRAW files are uploaded to Immich? I want to preserve the original photo exactly as it is on my iPhone.

Any ideas or settings I might be missing?
