1.133.1 crash loop

Howdy all .. first off this program is absoutly amazing and thank you to the devs for it!

I am having an issue with 1.133.1 with a crash loop on immich_server. All the dependancies are up but server runs for 10s then reloads.

Here is the docker log:

missing 'error' handler on this Redis client
Query failed : {

},
sql: '\n' +

}

Postgres log says similar:
2025-05-25 01:02:34.261 UTC [777] ERROR: function array_length(vector, integer) does not exist
2025-05-25 01:02:34.261 UTC [777] HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.
2025-05-25 01:02:34.261 UTC [777] STATEMENT:
ALTER TABLE smart_search
ALTER COLUMN embedding
SET DATA TYPE vector(512)

I checked and made sure my docker_compose is of the latest version and can't get this to come out of the issue. Any hints would be great. Tks in adv.

did you try restarting ? ?

Cody NewmanOP•5/25/25, 1:34 AM

I have done, ive also taking it down and done a full docker system prune and then up to force everything to re-pull. No lucf

NoMachine•5/25/25, 1:39 AM

where you in pg14 before the upgrade ?

Cody NewmanOP•5/25/25, 1:41 AM

Yes I was, I did the db upgrade steps to 1.133.0 and it was working okay on 1.133.0. I was up for a while on 1.133.1 today after updating -- but I think a background job kicked off and it ate itself

NoMachine•5/25/25, 1:48 AM

do you have a DB backup to start clean? everything in the config looks fine, but it behaves as if the extension wasn't installed

NoMachine•5/25/25, 1:49 AM

what about disk space? is the partition full?

Cody NewmanOP•5/25/25, 1:53 AM

I do have backups of the DB. I did run out of space on the upgrade to 1.133.0 but expanded the system drive to get it done.

Cody NewmanOP•5/25/25, 1:53 AM

I’ll try swapping out the db

mertalev•5/25/25, 3:08 AM

Oh, this is unlucky. You seem to have changed the model and it crashed during the model change, and the startup checks that separately decided to reindex don’t consider this. Try running

mertalev•5/25/25, 3:09 AM

We should patch this so it’s handled automatically

Cody NewmanOP•5/25/25, 11:54 AM

@NoMachine and @mertalev

Thanks for the help. I could not get anything to work - even wiping out the entire postgres folder to force it to start clean would give me that EAI_AGAIN error.

So what I ended up doing was creating a net new compose folder with the stock docker-compose and .env files just to see if I could get immich to start. When immich did start on a clean instance I bought my postgres folder over from the old project and et voila i'm running again.

Thanks again for all the great work on this!

NoMachine•5/25/25, 11:55 AM

I'm glad you were able to make it work
