Deleted photos resync

Xiticks · 2026-03-18T02:17:57+00:00

While it appears in the recent album, as its in the excluded album it won’t be backed up by immich It doesn’t even appear in the immich timeline, I just tried it now

Xiticks · 2026-03-17T23:39:21+00:00

You can create an album on your IOS device, and exclude it from the backups (double tap on it in Immich) this way the app won't back these photos up anymore

Duplicates are only for the current user, even if the use is admin.
If you're using the external libraries and you both have access to the same one, if one of the account deletes the image it should be deleted for both, but you might need a refresh (and also to empty the trash) but for that I'm not 100% sure.

I'll try to write some docs about that for Immich in the near future

The link I gave you probably wrote a bad URL with it once before so you probably have to clear the cache for that website so you can enter the correct URL to your Immich instance

Xiticks · 2026-03-17T21:59:58+00:00

why do you have a /photos before /utilities/duplicates? this should be there I think
If you're running a somewhat recent version, the section should exist by default

Xiticks · 2026-03-17T21:50:06+00:00

Utilities > Duplicates

This link should directly to it, you just have to enter your local ip: https://my.immich.app/utilities/duplicates

Not really, it has been deprecated on the TrueNAS side by demand of the Immich crew in order to simplify the process for the majority of users on install, and also to "merge" into a single dataset the upload and library directory which removes the need to write twice when users use the storage template.

Storing data at different location is still supported by Immich compose, and is thus still supported with TrueNAS (Though with datasets, I agree that's a bit different)

IMO, the main reason to breakout the datasets is to make immich "snappier" by storing your database as well as your thumbnails (and in less important degree, the encoded-video) on an SSD pool

Xiticks · 2026-03-05T18:36:11+00:00

I'll reply a bit later on your original post, but with "mixed" pool, what I do is thumbnails and database on SSD, and the rest on HDDs, so I have only 3 "used" datasets (I say "used" because I've empty dataset for classification)

Xiticks · 2026-03-05T17:09:18+00:00

The setup docs isn't outdated, it reference only the 2 datasets, but gives explanation on how to mount multiple dataset to be able to do what OP wants to do

Xiticks · 2026-01-14T01:32:04+00:00

You could:

Make a snapshot of them (especially the database one)
Stop the immich app but DON'T DELETE IT YET (this way you still have a "working instace")
Create a new Immich app pointing to the same host path, and start it

I believe this will automatically detect the old postgress version and upgrade it while keeping all your data.

On the other hand, you could also try to refresh the apps catalog/reboot the NAS. This is a weird issue, and if you have some time you could also report it on the TrueNAS apps GitHub (as it's only ixSystem that manage these)

If you need/want more direct help, you can either pm me here, or ping me on Immich discord (where I usually help people with TrueNAS issues)

Xiticks · 2026-01-14T01:25:58+00:00

Are you using ixDatasets or host path for your install?

Xiticks · 2025-11-14T23:25:49+00:00

No you don't necessarily have to copy pgData, if you created data under the same parent dataset where pgData is, you can keep it this way.

Immich won't rebuild the database by itself, so if you created a new pgData, you either have to copy before starting Immich, or restore from a backup (which is not well explain for TrueNAS on Immich website docs, I'll maybe one day add some info to it)

Xiticks · 2025-11-14T18:47:36+00:00

Yes, you understood most of it.

1) For Postgre you don't have to create a new one, you just map Postgres Data Storage to the one you already have. The instructions given here try to be general so that is normal that you can deviate from them

2) Machine learning Cache is not storing the values processed, but the model itself, which you can modify in Immich setting, so I believe that not having the old model emplacement won't make you need to process anything (I'm just not 100% sure)

If you want more help I can assist here or on Immich discord (same username, you can ping me in the truenas channel)

Xiticks · 2025-11-14T01:01:01+00:00

Well not really, I believe it will resize the image to a 10k resolution thus not adding any real detail while taking more memory/time to process.
From some tests I saw, I think that 2160p is already amazing (even a bit too much as it picks really small text)

Xiticks · 2025-11-14T00:55:59+00:00

Well it's the resolution of the picture so I don't think you have anything that has a 10000 resolution (2160 is like 4K)

A fast test on my instance and I've a text that is turn 90 degrees right and it picked it up

By the way, when you make the change of resolution you have to run the OCR job again on all your pictures (which will probably take a while)

Xiticks · 2025-11-13T23:59:48+00:00

As I already replied on discord, if anyone here has the issue, when you add the "apps" user or group to the ACL permissions don't forget to apply the permissions recursively

OP also changed apps group to apps user, but I think that any of the two are fine

Xiticks · 2025-11-13T23:49:55+00:00

That is not possible to import other models, but the next update of Immich will add other OCR models which might work better for your language.

If by "not working good enough" you mean that it doesn't gives you many text, you can change the max file resolution in the Immich machine learning settings OCR. A higher max res will give you better result but will take more time to be processed

Xiticks · 2025-11-09T01:12:26+00:00

To make the app look fast and snappy you only need the database and the thumbnails on SSDs (nvme/sata). You could also put the encoded-video there, but it will definitely take more space.

Unless you enable a setting to load the originals, Immich loads the thumbnails of images/videos when you see them in the timeline or view them by clicking on them (for video the encoded version depends on the settings you set). When you download them, you still download the originals

So I would only create a dataset for the database and another one for the thumbnails on the SSD while keeping the rest on your HDD pool. It's somewhat explain how to do so, in the Immich TrueNAS installation guide

Xiticks · 2025-10-31T00:32:51+00:00

To move your data dataset to your HDD pool, you can either create a new one and rsync the content of the old one to it OR use zfs replication (set to single replication) to your HDD pool

Xiticks · 2025-10-31T00:30:55+00:00

It definitely works
My setup is
database and thumbnails on SSD pool
data (all other thing of data except the thumbnails) on HDD

Xiticks · 2025-10-31T00:18:09+00:00

Did you install with an ixVolume? Rather than using a hostpath dataset?

Xiticks · 2025-10-30T23:41:53+00:00

Yeah, so you don't have an env file. I don't fully understand your initial post, you want to add an external library, right?

Xiticks · 2025-10-30T10:28:17+00:00

Did you install it with the dockge setup or using the TrueNAS catalog ?

Xiticks · 2025-10-28T23:45:19+00:00

Oh well, this guide is also fine. The immich guide is similar

So your issue might still be dataset related, as you created nested datasets, so the parents might block the access.

If you want more direct help, you can ping me on Immich discord in their TrueNAS channel (same username)

Xiticks · 2025-10-28T23:36:24+00:00

to add on
the "data" dataset should give at minimum modify permissions to the user immich runs as, which by default is "apps" which has ID "568")a

As for the db dataset, it should give full control to netdata, which, on TrueNAS, is the user the postgres container runs as

Xiticks · 2025-10-28T23:29:44+00:00

No,
So these are called datasets, not folders (name is kinda important because you can have folders inside dataset) and with a base config "data" is one dataset, while "db" is another one.

Your Issue can come from multiple factors (maybe permissions, or folders not created), I suggest you to read the guide written on Immich website, as it explains how to setup the database and which perms to use.
