Immich 2.1 Released with Better Slideshow Shuffle, New Notifications

Gitops is your friend
I automate my upgrades, but I also automate my backups, and monitoring.
If an upgrade breaks something, my health monitor lets me know and I can roll back to the previous day.
What tools do you use for the monitoring, backup and rollback?
That's what I thought, but last time I looked I only saw a "release" tag, no "v2" tag. Did I miss something?
I’ve been doing this in my kubernetes cluster since immich was less than v1.49.0 (that’s the earliest I can find but it’s been over 4 years).
Your comment could have been more constructive: something like “this is really cool, just be sure you don’t auto merge PRs without reading the patch notes. Learn about the process before you roll this out to your mission critical systems!”
This is a learning opportunity (possibly even for you). Show others how to do things well and the whole community can benefit.
I'm not familiar with Watchtower, I assume it will restart the container/stack if a new image is found. The biggest difference is that an edit to the git repo causing the container to be redeployed. This means the git repo becomes the source of truth and its possible to redeploy even when config changes get merged.
I've been running this setup for a few months now and haven't looked back. Works super well, and essentially acts as an approval process for letting a container update or not.
The author also recently added a followup article to this one for using Forgejo instead, made migrating the setup super easy.
Why this complicated setup? Komodo handles auto update by itself. It also update the whole stack at once, so no shutdown of the BD while the app stays up. Just have 2 checkboxes to tick.
The less stuff the better, it's essential in case you have a failure. I only have to redeploy komodo, then all my stacks will be ready to get back online. I even removed watchtower.
I’m finally migrating from iCloud Photos to Immich next weekend. I finally have my NAS setup going
I transitioned from Google photos to immich about a year ago:
face recognition is absurdly much better
searching for images is some black magic stuff
it's generally faster
it's map is really slow
Immich is such a cool piece of software 🤩
Wait no more! Immich 2.0 is the first stable release. https://github.com/...
I also run both but don't see how Immich could be a replacement for Nextcloud?
Those who run immich, how have you been backing up your library?
My deployment isn't anything fancy, it is currently a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 2TB external drive for the photo library. Been running for more than 6 months with minimal issues. Now that we are at a stable release I need to get some kinda backup going for the photos themselves.
The same way as all other services: all relevant data (compose.yml and all volume mounts) are in a btrfs subvolume. Every night a snapshot gets made and mirrored to a remote server by btrbk.
That server is also a homeserver I manage for family (in another city). The two homeservers then mutually back up each other.
Translation: "I run immich in a virtual machine, which I can manage from a web browser. The photos themselves are stored on a different device which gets backed up to a remote location twice a day."
So why run immich in a virtual machine instead of in, say, a docker? Wouldn't that be way less overhead? (Or is immich the only thing you're hosting?)
I have a docker VM with a gpu passed through/external access (is this called production?) and another docker VM on another machine with no passthrough/external access. So both VMs are running multiple stacks/services and i just assign based on use case. Storage and memory are cheap imo and it's the most secure way to do it with the skill level i have so it's how i run it. I'm sure there's better ways but 🤷♂️
Nothing fancy. I use Backrest for all my backups, and a few of my plans just include the Immich directory. My NAS is an entirely separate machine so my local backups go there, while everything is simultaneously pushed to a backblaze bucket
I run it baremetal, the photos / videos are all on a separate location (so are "Externsl Libraries" in Immich) and are backed up...
As far as the Immich application itself, I'm not currently backing up anything as I've been trialing it... but, I'll aim to backup any configurations, but I'm thinking to maybe ignore any database - it can just relearn everything if I need to do a restore.... depends how big that DB is...
Immich photos are one of the main thing I backup. I use duplicacy and I backup to backblaze B2 storage. It does incremental backups. Same thing with docker persistent data or other things I consider important.
Has anyone be able to get memories to work. I don't get any notifications. I probably don't understand how that works. Any pointers except the official documentation will be helpful.
They show images from the same day in past years. So if your library has no images >= 1 year old I'm not sure if anything shows up.
Still crutching on containers?
I hated them too at first, but that’s because I didn’t understand them and they were new and scary.
They’re still a little scary but, after having a dependency issue on another Linux box, I get the purpose of docker a little bit better now.
Here’s a helpful primer:

This thing changes versions faster than I can update my homelab... Lol.
