Immich 1.122 Brings HDR Video Support in the Mobile App
(linuxiac.com)
Can't wait for the stable release next year.
Why? No breaking changes or something else in particular?
Mainly no breaking changes. In the past I had to manually fix it on my server a few times.
Yeah, I'm waiting for the same thing. Have you tried Ente ? It looks like more mature but with less features, is that right?
I didn't know about it before you told me. It looks nice but I haven't tried it yet so I don't have an opinion on it.
I'm confused. This says it's version 1.122 - are they going to reset to 1.0?
I meant the first stabile release, my bad.
I'm thinking about self hosting my photo library, do I have to keep it up-to-date constantly to keep compatibility with the android app?
Nope, they recommend against updating without carefully studying the changelog
Just don't let it go too stale, I recommend updating it a few days or a week after a release gets made, since sometimes there are patches for important stuff released the next day or so after a minor one. That being said what I do is I have an RSS feed for their releases so I get a notification when a new release has been made and can check the changelog for important information, most of the times it's just bumping the version on the .env file.
Could I automate the upgrades?
With good backups, rollbacks in case of issues should be trivial.
Yup, watchtower will auto update docker containers for you.
Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it!
There has been about 3 times where auto updating has broken immich for me. But I just go read the docs and there has always been notes on what you need to do to get it working again. 5 mins later its back up and running.
You can, just put latest as the version. That's what I do for most other stuff. HOWEVER immich sometimes has breaking changes, so doing this is dangerous, I've broken my install twice because of it, and decided to switch to manual version and check the changelog, it's less work than using latest and fixing when things break.
The app will complain if the server has an incompatible version. Have had it happen a few times, but usually two or three minor versions difference should be okay.
Is there support for HDR photos though? Last time I checked there wasn't, is it time to switch?
When will they add chunking, though...
Chunking and the ability to rotate an image. I guess those features aren’t sexy.
If you don't mind me asking. What is chunking?
It breaks large uploads into smaller chunks. If you’re hosting behind a reverse proxy and using cloudflare, there’s I think a 100MB upload limit. Can pose a problem for importing some videos.
Ah that makes sense. Thank you 😊
Does it work with Synology NAS? Last time I checked it didn't. I'd love to use it.
Yup it should run fine since its a docker stack, synology supports docker.
I'm running it on a DS918+ right now. I copied-pasted their docker-compose file and had it up in half an hour or so.
Man, it's a fucking bitch to set up. Holy shit 😂
It's basically 5 steps listed here https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose
If you're new to docker it will seem like a lot, but they've taken care of most of the work for you already in the docker compose file.
mkdir immich && cd immich
wget -O docker-compose.yml https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml
wget -O .env https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/example.env
nano .env and change the upload location if needed (by default it will be in the 'immich' directory we're in) and the timezone.
docker compose up -d
Now it's running on http://ip:2283
Then to upgrade later on switch to the 'immich' directory again, do a docker compose pull and docker compose up -d

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
