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

    Or, if you do have it auto-update (like I do) prepare for things to break every now and then. I auto-update just about all containers except those that would break either my home automation or my ability to login to my network and fix things. Everything else auto-updates, including Immich.

    My Immich broke this weekend when they switched the stack over to pgvecto, to use vector searching in Postgres. Easily fixed, but took me a solid minute to figure out what had changed.

    Which is kinda weird they didn’t communicate this one so well. In the lead-up to v.1.88.0, Alex made an announcement on Github to let people know the breaking change was the removal of the web container from the stack, rolling the webserver into the main server container itself. That was a good move, as all I did was flip my Watchtower container on that host to monitor only.

    Dunno why they didn’t do something similar for the Postgres change. Was just as breaking.
