I know we had posts like this before, but Immich deserves 👏

One more update, one less container, the best Google Photos alternative, its just amazing!!

Don’t forget to edit your docker-compose before updating

    Noticed it stopped working yesterday, wasnt at home so I couldn’t really get into it, just checked the docker logs via portainer on the go and was like “wtf is this error?!” Was relieved when I learned what the issue was and that it’s just a restructuring of the containers.

    While it can be unnerving that they don’t shy away from breaking things in order to improve the service, it’s actually a very good thing and keeps the app from getting bogged down in some "but backwards compatibility"legacy code hell (wonder what some people in Redmond would know about that). Let’s just hope that they never publish an update that permanently breaks things when you haven’t followed a very strict weird update procedure or something.

      They have mentioned that once out of dev/alpha status they will figure out proper release versioning so you can pin a major version and not get breaking changes.

      you should exclude the immich stack from auto-updating and subscribe to immich releases.

      most of the time will just be a docker compose pull && docker compose up -d && docker compose logs -f
