v1.124.0

Highlights

Happy New Year, and welcome to the release v1.124.0 of Immich. After a long break, we are back! Along with many new contributors. This release adds many enhancements and bug fixes; some of the highlights include

• Create tags on the fly.
• Asset actions on the folder view
• Documentation updates
• Notable fix: a bug in the loading of the reverse geocoding data
• Notable fix: do not try to delete offline assets when they expire from the trash

Create tags on the fly.

You can create new tags directly from the “Tag assets” modal.

Screen.Recording.2025-01-07.at.12.59.43.mov

Asset actions on the folder view

The following common actions are available when multi-selecting assets in the folder view: download, change date, change location, archive, delete, and refresh thumbnails/videos/metadata.

Documentation updates

Many recent changes were made to the https://immich.app website; the complete list of commits can be seen below. This includes updates to the roadmap and moving the stable release milestone to early 2025.

Bugfix: Reverse geocoding

Previously, if the database container crashed during a specific and short window, the geodata import process could silently fail. This has been fixed in this release. Affected users may want to re-run metadata extraction, as some assets could incorrectly have no city, state, country, etc., due to the bug.

Cheers! 🍻

This discussion was created from the release v1.124.0.

Hi, thanks for the detailed release notes! Always a pleasure and very informative to read.

One question: Is there a specific reason that the docs now caution against deploying Immich docker inside a Linux container? Is that specifically targeted at LXC or also LXD/Incus? If so, why?

It happens to be the setup that I'm using for Immich (Immich in Incus container; I'm also using that type of setup for other services) and I think I have a good grasp of my setup and it's running seemingly fine, so I'm intrigued by this rather vague warning. Are there any known pitfalls I should be aware of? Or is it only because of the slightly increased complexity?

[mmomjian]

We provide a link to Proxmox, which is probably the leading LXC platform, who advises not to mix LXC and Docker. As far as I know LXD falls in the same camp as LXC in terms of how it's "virtualized" and the possible conflicts with the Docker daemon.

It generally sort of works -- it's definitely more likely to break due to a host update, but if you know what you're doing, go ahead. We have some people who use LXC and it works. We just don't provide any official support/help for it because you are expected to know what you are doing at that point.

Thanks for clarifying! Yes, it's totally fine for me. (I set the usual and documented container parameters for running docker inside Incus and I fall back to the less efficient overlayfs2 storage driver for docker since using nested btrfs leads to issues with snapshots of the Incus container. Or at least that was the case a few years ago.)

[troycarpenter]

Just as a reference, I'm running about 30 docker images inside an LXC container on my Proxmox server without any issues.
