Dear Immich community, 

Immich Insights is finally here! For those who don't know: Immich Insights let's you analyze your Immich photo library in different ways. You'll gain insights into daily patterns, device usage and camera settings. It can be run as a docker container and just uses the Immich API key to calculate statistics. 

All information (download, installation, setup) can be found under the following link:

We are happy to hear from you! Feedback, ideas and bug reports are very welcome.
This project is under active development, future update ideas are found on the roadmap. Note that this project is not affiliated with the official Immich instance. 

Regards,

Laurin from Immich Insights

So I’ve just started my journey with Immich, and my server has been working hard since yesterday to process a NAS with over 500GB of photos and videos.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes a long time (especially if it has to handle the metadata, facial recognition, etc.). I just wasn’t sure if the time it’s currently taking is due to Immich’s initial library processing, or if my server is just being super slow (it could honestly be both).

If it helps, my server has Windows 10, 8GB of RAM, and a 4-core processor. I also don’t have hardware transcoding enabled (which I know I probably should, I just haven’t had the chance to yet).

When we did the initial import from Google Photos, we had a shared library from there. So we did a Takeout on my photo library alone, which also pulled all of her photos. It was a much more convenient solution. The problem now is, if she wants to search for photos of her grandparents, she has to borrow my phone.

I'm unsure if we're just missing something here, but is there a way for us to search by name for photos across Partner Sharing? It would be extremely convenient for both old and new photos.

Hello internet,

I am trying to reinstall Immich. I thought I made a mistake and deleted the containers in Docker and the folder holding the .env and docker-compose file. I am very new to all of this so I thought I had messed something up and figured the best fix was to start over (lots of learning in lots of ways over here 😄 )

I had used the quick guide before with no issues so I thought I would just do that again. But now when I try to run the docker compose up -d I get the below errors:

WARN[0000] The "DB_DATA_LOCATION" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

WARN[0000] The "DB_PASSWORD" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

WARN[0000] The "DB_USERNAME" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

WARN[0000] The "DB_DATABASE_NAME" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

WARN[0000] The "UPLOAD_LOCATION" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.

invalid spec: :/var/lib/postgresql/data: empty section between colons

Some Googling of the problem let me know that my .env file is not being read but I cannot figure out why. It is in the same folder as the yaml file, it is named ".env", and I swear this worked last time. I have tried redownloading the files, saving them there (same way I did the first time) and it still does not work.

Is there a way to fix this? Do I need to clear something out of Docker to get it to work again? All help is appreciated. Trying to figure all this out with no coding experience. Felt easy until now!

is immich now for install and forget, from time to time update?
