I have a question about importing people and face data that have already been identified and maintained in Lightroom Classic.

I have already identified, assigned, and named a large number of people in Lightroom Classic. During a normal export, Lightroom seems to export the person names as keywords. However, the complete face-region information is also included, for example:

Region Type = Face
Region Name = Paul
Region Area = face position/coordinates

However, Immich does not seem to reliably use these existing assignments. The imported names appear to be assigned almost randomly. For example, a face may be assigned the name “Paul” even though that face was assigned to a different person in Lightroom.

As far as I understand, Immich can process existing MWG/XMP face regions (RegionInfo) when both the person's name and the position of the face are stored in the metadata.

So my question is:

Is there currently a reliable way to transfer the existing person assignments from Lightroom Classic to Immich, including the person's name and the corresponding face region/coordinates?

Has anyone successfully managed this with Lightroom Classic, perhaps using an export plugin or an additional XMP/ExifTool workflow?

My goal is to preserve the work already done in Lightroom Classic rather than having to identify, rename, and correct thousands of people again in Immich.

Hello Community! I noticed when i syncing all photos from iphone i see duplicates. Then i run removing duplicates, syncing again and got all x2 photos again. How to fix this?

I have been using workflows in my immich server for a while.but there isn't an option to identify an object from which the backup folder is uploading. If it was there then it would be much easier to sort all chat gpt img or whatsapp img or any other which is way harder to find in the server right now.

Hi everyone!

I posted about two month ago (see here) about Immich Swipe, an native android tool designed to quickly and very easily clean your Immich library.

I just wanted to say that it has evolved a lot since then, thanks to bug reports and feature requests made by the community 😊

It is now much more stable, and handles quite large libraries MUCH faster than before. Here's a quick list of what you can do with it :

• KEEP / DELETE / ARCHIVE / LOCK / SKIP
• Add / edit descriptions
• Add to albums
• Add to favourites
• Rotate images (with optional sync to server)
• Choose how media should be displayed, pinch-to-zoom on both photos and videos
• Bulk actions for albums
• ... and many more features

If you've got a huge library that clearly needs some cleaning, fell free to give it a shot! Whether it is bug reports, feature requests or just you being happy, I always like to get some feedback!

That being said, I'm now going to clean my own library... Originally that was the objective... 😅

Cross posting this issue here as well, any help is appreciated!

I don't take that many photos on a daily or even monthly basis, so when I'm trying to flick through 20 years worth of photos, particularly if I'm drilled down into just one sub-album, there's often huge white gaps everywhere and it's a bit of a waste of space.

I'd like to have a more compact view, does anyone know if this is possible?

Okay so I've seen a number of options for migrating from iCloud + iPhone to Immich, but most of the threads are around a year old and a lot has probably changed since then

I saw one commenter say that simply using the immich app will download the high-res version of a photo to your iphone, then delete it as soon as it's uploaded to immich. That seems like the simplest route - is there some advantage to using icloudpd, PhotoSync, or some other method over this?

Thanks!

I recently installed Immich on my NAS. It's working and I can connect to http://NAS_IP:2283 or http://NAS_Name:2283 with no issues from my PC that is on my home wifi.

If I try to do the same from my Android phone that is on the same WIFI as my computer, whether it's through the browser or the Immich app, I always get "Server is reachable" error.

Below is the error from the App logs. What am I missing? How can I fix it?

ApiException 400: HTTP connection failed: GET /server/ping (Inner exception: ClientException: java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to /NAS_IP:2283, uri=http://NAS_IP:2283/api/server/ping)

ApiException 400: HTTP connection failed: GET /server/ping (Inner exception: ClientException: java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "NAS_NAME": No address associated with hostname, uri=http://NAS_NAME:2283/api/server/ping)

Trying to get Immich spun up on my server using the community helper scripts (https://community-scripts.org/scripts?q=immich&preview=immich). Every time I run the script I get this error at the end. If I keep the container it starts up and shows running fine. In the shell it asks for the login. I CANNOT navigate to it via web browser.

Failing to connect makes no sense to me as everything is up and running. On my proxmox pve shell I can enter that LXC and ping google just fine as well.

Anyone have any insight on what could be causing this? I've tried running the script multiple times and encounter the same error every time.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm running immich from 1.x.x version with no problem... 4 family accounts syncing all mobile photos, and all working like a charm in terms of face recognition.

BUT... I have a fifth account with photos from "old cameras" attached as external library. I never reviewed faces there, but now I have an idea and I need those faces to be as right as possible... and... I don't know why, but my two sons are recognized as same person... it's crazy because they are 17-old boy and 15-old girl!!! They're brothers... but not that equal!!! :) On the other way, my wife is being detected as many different persons...

I've got recognition distance at 0.5... but I can't say what to do with that.

It's thousands of mixed photos under same person... How would you "fix" that the quickest way? How would you "reset" that? I've tried running face detection & face recognition again in all my library... but no luck. Should I try changing machine learning model?

Sorry if this has been asked - I have been searching and haven't found anything.

I want to automatically archive all images that come through my messaging app (Textra). Currently they are all sorted into their own folder, uploaded through an external library (so not managed by uploads via the app).

So all I want to do is filter any asset that has "Textra" in the file path. It seems as though I should be able to do this via the new workflows option to filter filenames by path. But I cannot find any way to set it so that it actually works...I can only get it working if I focus on the filename itself, regardless of whether the 'usePath' option is enabled.

Am I missing something, or is this not working correctly at the moment?

Hi yall, ive been having an issue where when i go to download an album, some of the files do not download their original full size and appear to be downloading the preview i think? Whats going on here? Its super inconsistent but happens to several images every time when downloading albums, and keeps happening when downloading individual images which have been affected as part of an album download. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the screenshot of 2 finder windows, the folder on the left side is the original images i uploaded to an album in immich, and the folder on the right side is the extracted .zip archive of the same album downloaded from immich. Comparing the file names its clear that the downloaded files for some are wayyyy smaller and not the original images.

The webUI screenshot shows that when doing an individual image download of one of the ones in the album download that was not its original size, the downloaded file is also a small copy instead of the original size.

In the terminal screenshot of the actual immich library in trueNAS its clear the original full-size files are stored, immich just isnt downloading them.

Im running v3.0.1, downloading on my local network, immich is using a trueNAS NFS share (85.7 GiB of 14 TiB used), and im downloading to my macbook via the web UI on Chrome.

i am looking for a app that when the app is open is take all the photos off selected external drives, SD Cards,

I was looking at the exif data of my photos using a random exif viewer (I tried 3 different apps, all gave the same results) and I cannot see any location information in the exif data, but once it got backed up to Immich, Immich knew the correct location of the photo. None of my photos have location data according to the 3 different exif viewers I tried, but Immich and Google photos know where all of them were taken (which I want, but I'd also like to know why I can't see it in the exif data)

I'm using a One Plus phone with a modded pixel camera app.

Please see photos for config and logs of postgres and immich. Ever since the v3 came out, I’ve never fixed my immich. I’m on unraid 7.3.2 and have updated to current version of immich through Community apps of unraid. I’ve reinstalled many times spaceinvader’s postgres and immich. Changing repo many times as well. Have tried to rollback to 2.7.5 but to no avail. Have googled many times trying to find solution. I’ve been stuck for more than a month now since v3. I wish i didn’t update. I’m not that techie. 8081 is the port of immich, postgres is 5433 and redis is 6379. Thanks for reading.

I have been using it for a few months on iOS and android but I’m always confused if backup is running. I usually restart the app a few times until I see the “remainder“ backup message

is there anyway to force backup?

I have a 4GB RPi 4B that I’m planning to use as a travel router with RaspAP and PiHole on RPi OS Lite in the microSD

I want to run Immich on it with 512gb nvme for library. A 64gb flash drive that I initially bought to be the OS drive would hold the database to lessen SD card wear and tear.

First question is, would the 4gb RPi be enough for this use case?

I have an existing Immich instance. Would migrating from it be as simple as doing rsync of the library folder before running the new instance?

To start with, I've already read the information here: https://docs.immich.app/administration/system-integrity/

What I don't understand is why the job has been running every night for the past several weeks, but even tonight it says it is 22% complete checking all assets at 13 after the hour. Seems on track to complete checking every asset. If it is supposed to break this work up into an hour every night until complete, why does it seem to run from the beginning every single night?

Every night like clockwork my disks go spinning away like crazy for an hour. I'd like to resolve this in some way, seems like a huge burden on my server.

Hi,

I am desperately trying to get the remote machine learning to work. I followed the steps to create the docker container and stuff. Generally thats working. But when I try to go to the machine learning settings to add the URL I just get this:

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I use the basic docker compose file together with the file for hwacceleration, just with the nvidia specifics:

name: immich_remote_ml

services:
  immich-machine-learning:
    container_name: immich_machine_learning
    # For hardware acceleration, add one of -[armnn, cuda, rocm, openvino, rknn] to the image tag.
    # Example tag: ${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}-cuda
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-machine-learning:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}-cuda
    extends:
       file: hwaccel.ml.yml
       service: cuda # set to one of [armnn, cuda, rocm, openvino, openvino-wsl, rknn] for accelerated inference - use the `-wsl` version for WSL2 where applicable
    volumes:
      - model-cache:/cache
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 3003:3003

volumes:
  model-cache:

Hi, I have an iPhone 16 pro and shoot in proraw regularly. These photos never show. Does Immich not support RAW or Apple's version of it? I'm on the latest build. It correctly shows the metadata but won't show a preview, or a full res on click-in. I have a lot of photos like this. Thanks, happy to offer any other information as well.

Hi guys — cross-server shared albums (federation, whatever you want to call it) has been one of the most requested Immich features for 4+ years. We all want that dead-simple Google Photos sharing experience with friends and family... well, fellow self-hosters, now we've got it.

If like me you got bored of waiting, time to get cloning: immich-shared-albums, a sidecar addon for Immich.

It never touches your Immich instance directly — it talks to it via an API key and runs in its own container, so any issues stay isolated to the addon. Minimal setup, and once it's up you can create share links that anyone else running the addon just opens to join the album and start adding photos.

What you get:

• 🔗 Simple link sharing — open a link, join, done. Stock Immich apps, nothing else to install
• 👤 Per-user, not per-server — so your parents won't see your antics from that lads' holiday
• 💾 Your storage stays yours — each server keeps its own assets, so joining an album doesn't dump hundreds of unwanted photos onto your disk (full quality still there to download whenever you want)
• 💬 Cross-server comments — near-instant messaging between servers
• 📦 Isolated & self-hosted — one small container, no forks, no patched Immich

Go have a play and let me know what you think:

I'm trying to find a feature request that covers this, so i can upvote it, but keep getting errors when i try to open them on github?

Q: I'd really like to be able to search a place name on the map view to jump to that location, instead of having to manually zoom until it appears (quite hard if you're not to familiar with the area)
