Some Question abount extract metadata from exif data

Hi immich team, i just curious lately why my photos didnt load the map metadata while upgrading to v2.2.1 . I think this not related with the version, because all my photos map data are not extracted before. And i just got time to check it the log and get this warn log. is there any miss configuration in my side? how i fix it? how i reproduce this 1. open app galery on my ip 13 pm 2. choose a photo (i check the info just to make sure the photo has map data) 3. click share and choose immich 4. click upload and finish at the same time i just check the docker logs and get this.

Hey - Please provide info about your setup as per "Information" section in the auto-post above. - Have you tried to restart Immich container?

Zeus•3w ago

FYI when you "share" to immich I believe the exif data may get stripped

Sergey Katsubo•3w ago

^^ https://immich.app/cursed-knowledge

GPS sharing on mobile is cursed Some phones will silently strip GPS data from images when apps without location permission try to access them.

i've restart the docker of immich_server and now it works. before this i just try to restart the proxmox container and didnt solve this. So should i doing restart everytime after upgrading the version? if you ask how i upgrade is i pull the latest image first, and doing compose up to refresh the docker to use new version

Sergey Katsubo•3w ago

using docker compose in my proxmox container

LXC?

should i doing restart everytime

If it's not LXC and if it occurs repeatedly then let us now, this is not expected. Exiftool in batch mode uses forking, typically it just works. (We've seen all kinds of weird non-reproducible issues in LXC therefore it is not officially recommended https://docs.immich.app/install/requirements#hardware)

Alif NaufalOP•3w ago

yes proxmox LXC oww, i see, thanks for the help luckily this setup was my testing before i buy a big storage for a real use. i will considering it for the next setup. Thanks
