Synology NAS accessed via tailscale, unable to update to 2.6.1 in Docker
🚧Setup🗄️Server❓Question
Hi all — looking for help upgrading Immich on Synology (Container Manager / Docker Compose). I’m stuck on v2.4.1 and can’t get it to pull v2.6.1.
Environment
Synology DS1522+ (32GB RAM)
DSM 7.x, Container Manager (Projects)
Large external library (~40TB, ~1M files)
Using docker-compose.yml + .env
Current state
UI shows: v2.4.1
.env now has: IMMICH_VERSION=v2.6.1
docker-compose.yml uses:
image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learning:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
Database image already on VectorChord:
ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:14-vectorchord0.4.3-pgvectors0.2.0
External library mounted read-only (works)
What I’ve tried
Stop/Start project in Container Manager
“Recreate” not clearly available in my UI
Tried deleting images, but Synology blocks deletion (still “in use”)
No jobs currently running (safe state)
Problem
Containers restart but version stays at v2.4.1
Seems like Synology is reusing cached images and not pulling v2.6.1
Questions
What’s the correct way to force a fresh image pull in Synology Container Manager for a compose project?
Is there a reliable GUI-only method (no SSH), or should I switch to SSH and run docker compose pull && docker compose up -d?
Is there anything in my setup (env/YAML) that would prevent pulling the new version?
Happy to provide logs / screenshots if helpful. Thanks!
