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...
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.
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
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.

Nice, in the process of backing up before upgrading my containers! :)
Does anyone know if chunked upload has been implemented? Vital for who's behind cloudflare
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.
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 just use a different camera app for those kind of pictures (receipts, etc). That camera app is configured to save pix to a location that doesn't get backed up.
which camera app do you use?
Main camera is whatever default is for Graphene. Also use "Open Camera" and "Fair Scan" from fdroid.

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.

As this is version 3.0.0, I'll wait a bit before upgrading.
Yeah, even when jumping minor versions they tend to spend a few days/weeks pushing patches, I'll wait a bit before updating.
They already pushed 3.0.1
Wait for 3.0.3 and then the emergency 3.0.4. 😅

I was just setting up my homelab 👀 looks like I was just in time to give it a bit before rebuilding lol
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.
Make sure you take a backup. Changing the docker container nuked my db. Had to restore from a backup
As usual during upgrades where loosing data is not acceptable.

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 :(
