Immich Redis-DB Upgrade?
Yo guys, I just noticed my Immich Redis database isn’t updating. Looking at my docker-compose, I saw I’m still running 6.2-alpine, but the Immich repo now uses valkey:8-bookworm. Is it safe to just swap the image, or is there some upgrade process I should follow?
I am using immich for a longer time and just repulled via Portainer Updates. I never updated my docker-compose. (only by breaking changes)

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:Here my env's

You should be able to just swap (I’ve done this on another service in past) but please wait until actual mods tell you something
Do a
docker compose down -v
, change to valkey and start back up
Or if you don't want the ML model cache to be wiped, remove the specific redis volume
But that's a bit more involved 😛
It shouldn't be necessary to remove this volume but I've seen issues appear because of it somehowOkay, thank you so much :D It worked!
