Start GENERATE THUMBNAILS Job from script \ console?
Hello!
Is there a way that I can script Immich to trigger a GENERATE THUMBNAILS job periodically from a script \ console?
My server seems to get stuck processing these and the solution I have found is to do the following:
redis-cli
auth password
flushall
I would like to be able to run that then have another line to start the GENERATE THUMBNAILS job.
Thanks Richard

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:thanks for that, I am struggling to get it to work
just getting command not found
what line would I need to type to get it to start the job? thanks
Post the url you using for the PUT
curl -L -X PUT '/api/jobs/thumbnailGeneration' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-d '{
"command": "start",
"force": true
}'
sorry never done this before
I am also trying to run that from Terminal on an UNRAID machine
will that be an issue?
my server URL is 192.168.1.130
you forgot the api key
where would I add that?
curl -L -X PUT '/2FXkp2VRiYmjlgLL8D3e0zL4xWBwhS2vneLXAE9lr4/jobs/thumbnailGeneration' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-d '{
"command": "start",
"force": true
}'
like that?
thanks again!
More like:
Force true will basically say "regenerate all" vs force false which will attempt only missing
thanks
when I run that i get the following:
which equates to:
:S
will this not work on UNRAID?
curl -L -X PUT 'http://domain.com/api/jobs/thumbnailGeneration' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'x-api-key: MYAPIKEY' -d '{ "command": "start", "force": false }'
This queues the job on my instance running from a linux terminalthanks I will try shortly, in a meeting now. many many thanks for helping 🙂
make sure you use the correct port or domain name if behind reverse proxy
