Man, I wish my experience was as nice. I used the proxmox lxc for it and after a 2 months of organizing I had some corruption and didn't have the fortitude to get through the debugging. It might have been related to a big version migration if I remember correctly. It turned me off the stack. The upgrading wasn't as turnkey as I wanted it to be and I dont think the case is different today. I just want to be able to organize my folders outside of some dumb library system and immich at the time fought that as well.

I'm not sure I will ever upgrade Immich again. When I upgraded to the next minor version (I forget which off the top of my head), the data migration corrupted my database such that no images would be served. Fortunately I had the old database backed up, so I restored it, rolled back to the older version of Immich, and things were back to normal. I like Immich, but this is not good for software that's beyond the first major version, and also handles archiving people's personal data.

  > Fortunately I had the old database backed up You say this as if it wasn’t Immich itself that backed up the database automatically next to your image files. I think they’re one of the best self-hosted services when it comes to backup/restore — enabling it by default — and when it comes to migrations — no breaking changes in minor versions after 1.0. Did you report this issue so I could try and reproduce it?

    I had an issue where my thumbnails were borked somehow, so I deleted them all. However, I didn't delete the database entries, so they never got regenerated. I ended up doing that manually, but it's great to see that is now a first class citizen in 3.0.0. I love Immich.

In proxmox restoring a backup is really easy, I'm surprised you didn't do that!

  if you have a PBS its just incredibly simple.

  Yes! Or even better, use Proxmox snapshots during upgrades for easy rollback on failure
