Immich diagram for file processing steps
https://docs.immich.app/developer/architecture#high-level-diagram
I have checked the above but I don
't see a diagram for this
Basically
, I
'd like a diagram
/flow
(like Mermaid
) that shows the steps a file takes when it
's uploaded
So let
's say I upload a video
, what jobs run on that file in what order
?
I think
Extract metadata
Extract metadata
is first and maybe
Generate Thumbnails
Generate Thumbnails
is second
?
Just trying to get an idea of the full flow
Architecture | Immich
