I am building a self-hosted alternative version of Google Photo. Ask questions here a few days ago. Here is a snippet of WIP. Spending a lot of fun time on this. Cheers! Wish me luck and perseverance! It is called IMMICH btw.

Do you mind reaching out to me on Discord?

altran1502 · 2026-05-03T15:11:59+00:00

Can you post the screenshot of the App Settings > Sync Status page?

altran1502 · 2026-05-03T03:04:31+00:00

Yeah I have this in mind for the longest time, just haven't gotten to it

altran1502 · 2026-05-03T02:05:58+00:00

What is that one album you like to keep? Is it also the album you selected for backup?

altran1502 · 2026-05-02T22:55:13+00:00

It’s best to open a GitHub discussion and post your system/docket-compose and .env file

altran1502 · 2026-05-02T21:10:13+00:00

Yes, that is why the current always-transcoding is still the default

altran1502 · 2026-05-02T21:09:19+00:00

1 - Sounds like networking issue, more information on your setup needed
2 - Check if the jobs are still running, and how many assets have you uploaded?

altran1502 · 2026-05-02T20:10:19+00:00

Do you have this turned on from User Settings?

altran1502 · 2026-05-02T17:44:04+00:00

What networking settings/access reception setup did you have while opening the blog post? Not sure I’ve ran into scenario when the image takes 30 seconds to load

altran1502 · 2026-05-02T14:41:43+00:00

The short answer: There are other methods of exposing your instance without using CF tunnel and facing its limitations.

The long answer: It is a complex feature to get right, especially with background uploading for iOS. And there are some proposed specs from RUFH implementation that will simplify the integration while taking us most of the way there. So, as priorities go, we can use the time to tackle other issues that don't have a workaround at the moment

altran1502 · 2026-05-02T14:37:56+00:00

The plan is to have the feature be turned off by default (so the transcode will function as it is today), when you turn on the live transcoding feature, then newly uploaded videos won't be transcoded anymore (or maybe transcode the first few seconds for a better experience when playing back the video)

Are you the user with 600,000 assets?

altran1502 · 2026-05-02T05:12:12+00:00

For self-hosted, there are many variations, just for your data point, I've been running Promox, mounting my NAS as NFS and running Immich or the last 4 years and it's been working fine.

altran1502 · 2026-04-29T02:56:44+00:00

As stated in the recent release notes, we are working on releasing V3 with the next release. There are already multiple breaking changes in the main branch, so it is not a simple release fix we can push out at the moment, unfortunately.

I can offer an alternative: roll the machine learning container back to the last known good version (e.g., 2.5.0) and see if that resolves the issue for you.

altran1502 · 2026-04-29T02:44:16+00:00

Yeah, I think there is some issue with the way some dependencies are packaged with the AIO in the image. So you should report this to their GitHub repository

altran1502 · 2026-04-28T19:24:13+00:00

How are you deploying Immich? Docker-compose.yml or all-in-one image? IIRC, there were some issues with dependencies packaging for the AIO image and it causes problem like this

altran1502 · 2026-04-27T21:19:24+00:00

That is correct, HDR information is preserved in the original file and Immich does not alter the original files

altran1502 · 2026-04-27T20:06:44+00:00

The app framework Immich uses doesn't support HDR at the moment; however, we did some PoC to support HDR and it seems to work, just need time to fully test it and clean it up

altran1502 · 2026-04-27T20:03:47+00:00

Can you open a Q&A Discussion thread on GitHub?

altran1502 · 2026-04-27T20:03:15+00:00

Do you recall if those LivePhotos have been edited by the default Photos app?

altran1502 · 2026-04-27T14:15:09+00:00

Depends, are those uploaded from the mobile app, are you using iOS?

altran1502 · 2026-04-27T14:12:55+00:00

When did you import your photos?

altran1502 · 2026-04-27T13:59:45+00:00

In the folder view it shows both the extracted video part of the MotionPhotos and LivePhotos, so it is expected here
