v1.100.0

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.100.0, not yet v2.0 😛 of Immich. This release includes mostly bug fixes, code refactoring, and nice web QoL improvements. Some of the highlights include:

  • Ability to view different album ownership on the album page.
  • Better user experience when creating a new album.
  • Context menu items now come with associated icons.
  • Slideshow control improvement.
  • Added job metrics for Prometheus.
  • Notable fix: Scroll stickiness on the mobile app.

Album ownership toggle

On the album page on the web, you can now view all albums - i.e., shared or, owned or both - on the same page by using the toggle options.

Better user experience when creating a new album

The notification on the web now includes a button to go to the album after you add new photos or videos to an album.

chrome_SocaZ52kLV.mp4

Context menu with associated icons

We added icons to the context menu to make the distinction between the options clearer.

Slideshow control improvement

After 10 seconds of inactivity, the cursor and control bar will be hidden, and a button will allow you to return to full screen.

Job metrics

You can now monitor the successful, skipped, and failed jobs for particular job types in Prometheus and the number of active jobs being processed in each queue.

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Please consider supporting the project.

Social Preview

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.99.0 of Immich. This release adds the new logo, fixes many bugs, and improves the application. Some of the highlights include:

  • [WEB] Sort photos and videos to display direction in an album.
  • On-disk cache on the mobile app to provide a better viewing experience.
  • There is a new endpoint for OpenTelemetry metrics to monitor performance.
  • Optimized queries for large libraries.
  • Add upload progress and speed indicator.
  • XMP sidecar file is now recognized with both photo.ext.xmp and photo.xmp extensions.
  • Drag to select - Now press your thumb to drag and select in the selection mode.
  • Improve user feedback in the mobile app's backup and album selection screen.
  • Various improvements for the library scanning process.

Asset's display direction in the album

We added an option to change the order of the assets in the album so you can view the assets from older to newest and vice versa.

album.view.order.mp4

Mobile asset caching

Improving cache for remote thumbnails and the images, they now stay on disk so that they can load faster and give a better experience while used offline. You should feel a faster loading experience across the app.

Performance monitoring with OpenTelemetry integration

Immich provides a variety of performance metrics to allow for local monitoring and insights. This integration is primarily in the form of Prometheus metrics. However, exporting traces is also possible due to OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Please visit the documentation to learn how to enable this feature

Note

This opt-in feature allows you to monitor Immich's performance. This data isn't sent anywhere beyond what you've configured.

File size progress and upload speed indicator

We added an indicator to show the file's size that has been uploaded and the upload speed under the progress bar in the backup screen.

Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.15.Pro.Max.-.2024-03-14.at.18.08.37.mp4

Drag to select

You can now drag to select in the mobile app when in selection mode; this will help make selecting in bulk easier.

And lastly, I want to express my gratitude to @immich-app/contributor who make this behemoth of a release happen 🎉

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Announcement

The logo design contest has ended on March 4th, 2024.

We had an internal voting round with the core team members and contributors. The winner is @Tyree, with the design below.

Tyree's design

We are planning to roll out the new logo in the near future.

Thank you all for your contributions and discussions. We are very happy to have such strong community engagement.

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.98.0 of Immich. We are pleased to introduce many new features, quality of life improvements and bug fixes in this release—some of the highlights below.

  • Move library settings to the Administration page - Simplify the external library setup process.
  • Context search with people filtering.
  • File name and file extension search.
  • Add an option to disable the required password change when creating a new user.
  • Show people in the information sheet on the mobile app.
  • A configurable timer is used to delete a user permanently.

Move library settings to the Administration page

We moved all library settings under the Admin settings to reduce the complexity of setting up external libraries and lay the groundwork for sharing external libraries between users.

image

Context search with people filtering

Thanks to @michelheusschen's help in solving the technical challenges of combining contextual search results with people filtering, it is now possible to search for "person in red dress" and choose only the people that you would like to see in a red dress.

File name and extension search

You can now search for file name and file extension again as free text search. For example, you can search for all Nikon photos with NEF or nef, or search for file names such as IMG_1234.JPG with 123 or 234 as the search query.

image

Show people the information sheet on the mobile app.

You can now see the people detected in a photo/video in the detail sheet on the mobile app.

Option to disable required password change for new user creation

image

Configurable timer for user deletion

This setting can be found in the server settings in the Administration page. You can now adjust how long until a user gets permanently removed from the server.

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

v1.96.0

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.96.0 of Immich. This release adds more enhancements for search, optimizes the mobile app and includes a handful of bug fixes. Some of the key highlights include:

  • Search filter form improvement
  • Search by location when editing the place for the asset.
  • Optimization of asset rendering on the mobile app.
  • Slideshow options (web)
  • Notable fix (mobile app): Stop sending users to the login page for unrelated authentication errors.
  • Notable fix: Smart Search when using OpenVINO.

Improved Search Form

After receiving users' feedback, we make the search filter a little more compact with minor UI/UX changes to make the process of selecting/deselecting the filter's content more intuitive.

search-filter

Search location when editing place for the asset.

We have implemented the lookup-on-type mechanism to quicky search for a location on the map when adding or edding location of the asset. This process happens entirely on your server

chrome_DoSJwS1Dlr.mp4

[Web] Slideshow options

We added additional options for the slideshow feature on the web, so you can make it fit your needs when showing of your gallery

image

Optimized asset rendering on the mobile app

We add a blur thumbnail loading step to help the transition from black/white placeholder to the image a more pleasant experience and fix a bug that sometimes the HTTP client would timeout and show the broken icon on the thumbnail.

blurloading.mov

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Warning

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

1. Upgrade pgvecto.rs to stable version 0.2.0 for enhanced search

Step 1: Change the docker-compose.yml database image from 0.1.11 to 0.2.0

[...]

  database:
    container_name: immich_postgres
-   image: tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.1.11@sha256:0335a1a22f8c5dd1b697f14f079934f5152eaaa216c09b61e293be285491f8ee 
+   image: tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0@sha256:90724186f0a3517cf6914295b5ab410db9ce23190a2d9d0b9dd6463e3fa298f0
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
      POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USERNAME}
      POSTGRES_DB: ${DB_DATABASE_NAME}
    volumes:
      - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    restart: always

[...]

Step 2: Perform docker compose pull

Step 3:

a) If Immich is a Postgres superuser (default)

Bring the stack up with docker compose up

When the server starts up, it will log a message like this:

WARN [DatabaseService] Could not run vector reindexing checks. If the extension was updated, please restart the Postgres instance.

warn

This is normal. Continue to Step 4.

b) If Immich is not a Postgres superuser

If Immich doesn't have superuser permissions, you'll need to bring up the database and run a few commands manually:

BEGIN;

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS vectors;
ALTER DATABASE immich SET search_path TO "$user", public, vectors;
SET search_path TO "$user", public, vectors;

UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_extension SET extversion = '0.1.11' WHERE extname = 'vectors';
UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_extension SET extrelocatable = true WHERE extname = 'vectors';
ALTER EXTENSION vectors SET SCHEMA vectors;
UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_extension SET extrelocatable = false WHERE extname = 'vectors';
ALTER EXTENSION vectors UPDATE TO '0.2.0';

SELECT pgvectors_upgrade();

COMMIT;

Step 4: Terminate and restart the stack

Bring the stack down (or terminate with ctrl + c) with:

docker compose down

Then bring it back up:

docker compose up

You'll run into a message saying:

[DatabaseRepository] Could not reindex index face_index. Attempting to auto-fix.

image

This is normal. The server will do some magic and start to work.

Step 5: Enjoy the new ✨search enhancements✨

2. OAuth encryption algorithm setting changes

OAuth setups using HS256 (mainly Authentik) will need to either (1) update the signing algorithm in Immich or (2) specify a signing key in the provider settings (so that it uses RS256 instead).

Specify a signing key in Authentik:

Screencast.from.02-02-2024.12.05.04.AM.webm

New Immich OAuth Setting

image

Background

RS256 is generally better than HS256. RS256 is pretty much the most commonly used algorithm. The client library we use for open-id defaults to RS256. It's very easy to setup Authentik without specifying a signing key, which will default to use HS256. The original implementation added a hack/fallback to HS256 in some conditions to try to handle that situation. The current code removes the fallback, and adds a specific Signing Algortithm setting which can be explicitly set. Alternatively, the issue could be fixed by specifying a signing key in Authentik.

Highlights

Welcome to version v1.95.0 of Immich. This is one of the longest stretches since the last release of Immich for the past year, we only had 150+ PRs merged since the last release. There are many new improvements and features in this release that we are very excited to introduce to you.

  • (Web) Search enhancement - Introduced filter to incorporate advanced search.
  • (Web) Improve user experience in search view - Infinite scrolling and justified layout in search result view.
  • (Web) Show partner's photos and videos on the map - Option to show shared partners assets on the map
  • (Mobile) Playing video in Memory view - Videos now auto play while viewing memories on the mobile app.
  • (Mobile) Gradient placeholder - A much more pleasant placeholder while scrolling through your timeline.
  • (Mobile) iOS background backup on WIFI option - The iOS mobile app can restrict your backups to only work while on WIFI.
  • Notable fix: Issue with unresponsive swiping in gallery view fixed on iOS.

Enhanced search feature

This feature is available on the Web only as of this release

This release adds a highly anticipated feature - advanced search with filters by date, location and more. What's more is that these filters are also compatible with smart search, so you can add text to sort by relevance at the same time.

Results are also no longer capped at 100 - scrolling down will fetch more and more assets.

filter

pgvector compatibility

As part of the upgrade to pgvecto.rs 0.2, we've also added pgvector support for environments where pgvecto.rs can't be used. Adding DB_VECTOR_EXTENSION=pgvector to the .env file will use pgvector instead (assuming your Postgres instance has pgvector installed). We'd like to give a special shoutout to the pgvecto.rs team for adding a compatibility mode that makes it easier for us to support both extensions.

Please note that the extension cannot be changed after a successful startup (i.e., migrations have run). This means you can't switch to pgvector from an existing instance with pgvecto.rs. It must be a new instance or an instance coming from 1.90.2 or older. Additionally, some features may not work quite as well with pgvector.

If you're upgrading from an old version of Immich, the migrations will take some time - don't worry if the server doesn't start up immediately.

Show partner's photos and videos on the map

This feature is available on the Web only as of this release

You can now toggle the option to include partners' assets on the map view.

Gradient placeholder on the mobile app

iOS background backup on WIFI option

You can now toggle this option only to allow background backup while the device is connected to the WIFI network.

External library import path validation

Several users struggle with getting import paths correct with external libraries. This version adds several checks and validations so that the user gets feedback on what went wrong.

image

CLI release

New CLI version 2.0.8. This version supports running inside Docker without needing Node.js installed, which helps on some platforms. Under the hood, it has been migrated to the new API version, uses vitest instead of jest, and has seen several improvements and bug fixes.

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Please consider supporting the project.

[...]

Step 2: Perform docker compose pull

Step 3:

a) If Immich is a Postgres superuser (default)

Bring the stack up with docker compose up

When the server starts up, it will log a message like this:

WARN [DatabaseService] Could not run vector reindexing checks. If the extension was updated, please restart the Postgres instance.

warn

This is normal. Continue to Step 4.

b) If Immich is not a Postgres superuser

If Immich doesn't have superuser permissions, you'll need to bring up the database and run a few commands manually:

BEGIN;

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS vectors;
ALTER DATABASE immich SET search_path TO "$user", public, vectors;
SET search_path TO "$user", public, vectors;

UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_extension SET extversion = '0.1.11' WHERE extname = 'vectors';
UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_extension SET extrelocatable = true WHERE extname = 'vectors';
ALTER EXTENSION vectors SET SCHEMA vectors;
UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_extension SET extrelocatable = false WHERE extname = 'vectors';
ALTER EXTENSION vectors UPDATE TO '0.2.0';

SELECT pgvectors_upgrade();

COMMIT;

Step 4: Terminate and restart the stack

Bring the stack down (or terminate with ctrl + c) with:

docker compose down

Then bring it back up:

docker compose up

You'll run into a message saying:

[DatabaseRepository] Could not reindex index face_index. Attempting to auto-fix.

This is normal. The server will do some magic and start to work.

Step 5: Enjoy the new ✨search enhancements✨

2. OAuth encryption algorithm setting changes

OAuth setups using HS256 (mainly Authentik) will need to either (1) update the signing algorithm in Immich or (2) specify a signing key in the provider settings (so that it uses RS256 instead).

Specify a signing key in Authentik:

New Immich OAuth Setting

Background

RS256 is generally better than HS256. RS256 is pretty much the most commonly used algorithm. The client library we use for open-id defaults to RS256. It's very easy to setup Authentik without specifying a signing key, which will default to use HS256. The original implementation added a hack/fallback to HS256 in some conditions to try to handle that situation. The current code removes the fallback, and adds a specific Signing Algortithm setting which can be explicitly set. Alternatively, the issue could be fixed by specifying a signing key in Authentik.

Highlights

Welcome to version v1.95.0 of Immich. This is one of the longest stretches since the last release of Immich for the past year, we only had 150+ PRs merged since the last release. There are many new improvements and features in this release that we are very excited to introduce to you.

  • (Web) Search enhancement - Introduced filter to incorporate advanced search.
  • (Web) Improve user experience in search view - Infinite scrolling and justified layout in search result view.
  • (Web) Show partner's photos and videos on the map - Option to show shared partners assets on the map
  • (Mobile) Playing video in Memory view - Videos now auto play while viewing memories on the mobile app.
  • (Mobile) Gradient placeholder - A much more pleasant placeholder while scrolling through your timeline.
  • (Mobile) iOS background backup on WIFI option - The iOS mobile app can restrict your backups to only work while on WIFI.
  • Notable fix: Issue with unresponsive swiping in gallery view fixed on iOS.

Enhanced search feature

This feature is available on the Web only as of this release

This release adds a highly anticipated feature - advanced search with filters by date, location and more. What's more is that these filters are also compatible with smart search, so you can add text to sort by relevance at the same time.

Results are also no longer capped at 100 - scrolling down will fetch more and more assets.

pgvector compatibility

As part of the upgrade to pgvecto.rs 0.2, we've also added pgvector support for environments where pgvecto.rs can't be used. Adding DB_VECTOR_EXTENSION=pgvector to the .env file will use pgvector instead (assuming your Postgres instance has pgvector installed). We'd like to give a special shoutout to the pgvecto.rs team for adding a compatibility mode that makes it easier for us to support both extensions.

Please note that the extension cannot be changed after a successful startup (i.e., migrations have run). This means you can't switch to pgvector from an existing instance with pgvecto.rs. It must be a new instance or an instance coming from 1.90.2 or older. Additionally, some features may not work quite as well with pgvector.

If you're upgrading from an old version of Immich, the migrations will take some time - don't worry if the server doesn't start up immediately.

Show partner's photos and videos on the map

This feature is available on the Web only as of this release

You can now toggle the option to include partners' assets on the map view.

Gradient placeholder on the mobile app

iOS background backup on WIFI option

You can now toggle this option only to allow background backup while the device is connected to the WIFI network.

External library import path validation

Several users struggle with getting import paths correct with external libraries. This version adds several checks and validations so that the user gets feedback on what went wrong.

CLI release

New CLI version 2.0.8. This version supports running inside Docker without needing Node.js installed, which helps on some platforms. Under the hood, it has been migrated to the new API version, uses vitest instead of jest, and has seen several improvements and bug fixes.

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

Please consider supporting the project.
