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.

    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.

    I use an app called Slidebox on iOS. Every Saturday I review the pictures I've taken with it and either swipe up to delete or send them to an album at the bottom, I only sync the sorted album with immich.

    You don't need to delete them entirely. You can convert a 5MB/22 megapixel JPEG to a 500KB/2 megapixel AVIF that looks 95% as good when viewed on a phone screen.

    Of course, I have no idea if immich can do this. It would be nice though.

    As this is version 3.0.0, I'll wait a bit before upgrading.

    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...

    My upgrade path was breaking by deployment a few weeks ago, seeing the v3 was around the corner and just starting again :)

    Sad to see the I can't make a workflow to add photos to an album based on face recognition. Wanted that you have a family album

    As an FYI to people who are upgrading and use a preexisting postgres database If you still use pgvecto.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.

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

    Nm: I know why now. Apple are such bitches.

    What is it, restricted access? Am an Android user since 2008 and never had an iOS device so I'm clueless.

    They have a new api that lets photos be backed up in the background similar to how the photos app does with iCloud. But… Immich cannot use it because Apple say you have to hard code the URL. That doesn’t work for self hosting.

    Ahahaha, nice. Loosely reminds me of how we looked at implementing share-to-app (when that was a novel thing) in a mobile OS circa 2011 and we looked at how iOS did it. It was a list of hardcoded targets - Facebook, Twitter. No pluggability no nothing. Our product team was like - if no pluggability is good enough for Apple, it's good enough for us!

    All the HEIC files from my camera are still busted.

    To be fair, its a tricky issue. Its camera makers' fault for using a format no one else wants to touch, and rendering them as HDR files instead of SDR with gain maps, as is standard practice for smartphones.

    ...But still, its annoying. They render fine on my iPhone, on Windows, or KDE Linux, out of the box. But they're completely garbled in Immich :(

    I've really wanted to ditch JPEG. It's a 34 year old format.

    The problem is that AVIF, JPEG-XL and HEIC/HEIF don't work in many places. At a minimum I would want them to display in my gallery app (currently Nextcloud memories), display in a browser, and have native support at an OS level (i.e thumbnail previews). Neither format comes close to this.

    I may even move away from Nextcloud over it. I didn't want to deploy docker just for immich (I love LAMP, btw). However Nextcloud is SO MUCH maintenance compared to the 50 other services running on my server.

    Does anyone know if chunked upload has been implemented? Vital for who's behind cloudflare

    I just want it to not delete things of NFS goes down.

    Edit: Also, manual steps for a containerized update are dumb. All these manual steps should be handled in migrations. I have started a discussion on this: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/29513

    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”.

    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.

    Nice, in the process of backing up before upgrading my containers! :)

    Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

    Fewer Letters More Letters
    LAMP Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP stack for webhosting
    NAS Network-Attached Storage
    NFS Network File System, a Unix-based file-sharing protocol known for performance and efficiency

    3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 3 acronyms.

    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...
