The upgrade was pretty trivial from 2.7.5. Minimal changes in the docker compose file if your was up-to-date on 2.7.5. Mostly version changes. No changes needed to .env other than going to v3.

I just want it to not delete things of NFS goes down.
I just want it to not delete things of NFS goes down.
that's a pretty bad flaw. mounts could disappear for many reasons, not only NFS but any kind of mount.
Yea, Iove Immich, but this almost got me. It moves them to trash unless the volume comes back in 30 days. If 30 days go by, you lose all metadata, scanned people, etc. I was out of town when it happened.

What are workflows?
The first preview of Workflows is here! Workflows let you automate actions in your library by chaining triggers, filters, and actions together with a drag-and-drop builder. This is the foundation for many exciting automations to come, and we'd love your feedback as we continue building on it.
It’s a user-friendly way to say “when X happens, do Y”.
Brilliant thank you, I thought it was some AI site because I keep hearing it in context of new models. IFTTT essentially.
Where is the f-droid client update that belongs to it?
WARNING: current f-droid version is not compatible with latest server version!!
No extra repo and f-droid basic repo does not have it. I took it through obtainium and so had to delete/download the app and redo my settings...
wait.. there was a v2.* ? feels like yesterday that i read about the release and wanted to check it out since
Quick question -- why's the official Docker compose using a PostgreSQL image four versions out of date? I'm running postgres:18 everywhere else, these days.
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml
database:
container_name: immich_postgres
image: ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:14-vectorchord0.4.3-pgvectors0.2.0
It uses an unusual PostgreSQL extension. Maybe an update is not that trivial.
Ooh, the workflows idea is interesting.
What I really want is for my photos to expire.
Most of the photos I take are junk photos: a picture of a receipt, a picture of a sprinkler model number, a picture of a random bug I saw while I was cleaning the pool. I just need these photos once and then I never need them again. I wish they would go away on their own.
Of course, there are also times when I do want to keep pictures, birthdays, vacations, etc.
I wish Immich (or someone) would create a camera with a switch that allows you to pre sort images into albums: permanent vs temporary
Of course, the Big Tech guys would never do this because they want you to store all of that junk on their clouds.
But, Immich could actually help trim junk.
I just delete images when I'm scrolling.
I see your point but I don't struggle enough to have a seperate shutter app that auto deletes images.
Also, when deleting a photo, it's stored for another 30days. You can easily come back a couple of days later in case you still need the photo.
I think that would actually be doable in immich.
I've read that there is a regex step.
And you could also sort it into albums.
And assuming you can get the info from the API how old an asset and in which album it is (or just parse the items in an album asset group, it can be scriptable to purge items.
In iOS there is an app called ShutterDeclutter that every day shows you the all photos you took on that day of the year in your collection and has a swipe left/right to delete or keep each one. It makes the job of reviewing photos manageable for people with multi decade long albums. I really want Immich to add that feature.

As this is version 3.0.0, I'll wait a bit before upgrading.
Wait for 3.0.3 and then the emergency 3.0.4. 😅

Migration guide - https://immich.app/blog/v3-migration.
I was just thinking about this the other day: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/tree/main/docker
Make sure to use the docker-compose.yml of the current release: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml
The compose file on main may not be compatible with the latest release.
I definitely have not been checking for updates on the compose files on any of my self hosted apps... I probably should...
In all honesty, immich's very opinionated way of doing a compose file gives me so many headaches compared to pretty much every other docker app I use.

As an FYI to people who are upgrading and use a preexisting postgres database If you still use pgvectors.rs (if the command \dx on the immich database responds with vectors not vector) you will need to install both pgvector and vectorchord in order to continue using immich. This will require restarting your postgres instance at least once if not twice.
It threw me for a loop at first because of the similar naming. Just thought I would share.
Isnt that only relevant to users that started with a very old setup guide?
I started in the still-beta stage (I'd say 20-30 updates before the 1.0.0 release) and already had the immich version of the postgre vector container in the compose template.
I'm not sure, I was running 2.7.5 myself but i am not sure what version of immich I started with. I don't think this would effect fully docker setups much anyway. I think this would mostly effected people who had configured with a preexisting database. I believe the docker edition with postgres built in upgraded for you awhile back unless you supplied an environment variable telling it to do otherwise.

Why don’t they support Background Resource Upload PhotoKit API on iOS?
