Do these containers also need updates?
Since I am using portainer just for a few weeks and am a general noob with Docker etc. I was wondering if these containers also needs to be updated from time to time or just the immich-server container? How can I be notified about that? Is there a RSS feed to subscribe to? Will I destroy any data when re-creating those containers? For the server-container the update to v133 went properly, just wondering about the other three.

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:how are you managing those containers? via docker compose, portainer stack ?
its a stack using docker compose, yes.
then everything is updated automatically when you update the stack (unless you are specifically just choosing to update one image)
also, the DB has been upgraded to vectorchord, you may want to replace your DB container
this image should be compatible with your current version, previous backup https://github.com/immich-app/base-images/pkgs/container/postgres/421825600?tag=16-vectorchord0.3.0-pgvectors0.2.0
DB wont be deleted or resetted when "Re-pull image and redeploy" ?
no, but still you should backup before every update
I got like 120k images in my DB, so it would be good if everything stays there 😉
I do copy the all these folders to another drive every night
you should always take a backup of the DB anyway, check in
backups if Immich is creating one automatically
nothing is going to be deleted when upgrading the image, but you always have to be prepared for the worst. errors can happenthere is no backup of the DB in the folder
its active though
humm, go to jobs, create one (upper right), look for create dump, check server logs to see if there's any error
Created the job, no errors in log. will check tomorrow if the dump was done. I also have to check, how to make use of that image that you sent me above to upgrade DB. never did that.. just have to replace the labels accordingly?
I now did this, according to ChatGPT:
Am I safe to re-deploy 😄 ?
Appears to be correct, though the Immich docs and release notes were using pg14.
You need to also remove the "command" and "healthcheck" sections from immich-db in your compose if you haven't already.
The db update is all explained in the release notes
okay, will check the release notes
But yeah, the image you have there should be good since you already used pg16 👍
i commented those lines... nothing with "command" there
will update now 😄 hope it goes well.. I have no idea what I am doing ^^
lets see 😄

^how to backup the database
Backup and Restore | Immich
A 3-2-1 backup strategy is recommended to protect your data. You should keep copies of your uploaded photos/videos as well as the Immich database for a comprehensive backup solution. This page provides an overview on how to backup the database and the location of user-uploaded pictures and videos. A template bash script that can be run as a cron...
And I am now running on v1.133.1
You can access webui fine?
yes :3
Thank you guys! If I wouldnt be supporter already, I would be it now 😄
Np!
Like NoMachine mentioned, always make a backup of the db before updates, just in case, and always check the release notes for breaking changes 👍
will do.. have to monitor if now the dumps are being created at night
I just saw this error here in the immich-server logs ... not sure how severe or just normal..
Immich-DB looks like this:
Redis like this:
nothing to be worried about
