v1.99.0

New logo

The new logo is now rolled out on all platforms, including the web, mobile, and documentation pages. If you are a content creator, you can grab the logo vector and raster files in the repository's design folder.

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.99.0 of Immich. This release adds the new logo, fixes many bugs, and improves the application. Some of the highlights include:

• [WEB] Sort photos and videos to display direction in an album.
• On-disk cache on the mobile app to provide a better viewing experience.
• There is a new endpoint for OpenTelemetry metrics to monitor performance.
• Optimized queries for large libraries.
• Add upload progress and speed indicator.
• XMP sidecar file is now recognized with both photo.ext.xmp and photo.xmp extensions.
• Drag to select - Now press your thumb to drag and select in the selection mode.
• Improve user feedback in the mobile app's backup and album selection screen.
• Various improvements for the library scanning process.

Asset's display direction in the album

We added an option to change the order of the assets in the album so you can view the assets from older to newest and vice versa.

album.view.order.mp4

Mobile asset caching

Improving cache for remote thumbnails and the images, they now stay on disk so that they can load faster and give a better experience while used offline. You should feel a faster loading experience across the app.

Performance monitoring with OpenTelemetry integration

Immich provides a variety of performance metrics to allow for local monitoring and insights. This integration is primarily in the form of Prometheus metrics. However, exporting traces is also possible due to OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Please visit the documentation to learn how to enable this feature

Note

This opt-in feature allows you to monitor Immich's performance. This data isn't sent anywhere beyond what you've configured.

File size progress and upload speed indicator

We added an indicator to show the file's size that has been uploaded and the upload speed under the progress bar in the backup screen.

Drag to select

You can now drag to select in the mobile app when in selection mode; this will help make selecting in bulk easier.

And lastly, I want to express my gratitude to @immich-app/contributor who make this behemoth of a release happen 🎉

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.

It's distrohop time. Want to go immutable for the first time. But waiting for KDE6.

Highlights

Welcome to the first Immich release of 2024, v1.92.0. This release is packed with features, bug fixes, and improvements. Let’s dive into some of the highlights of this release.

[BREAKING CHANGE] The welcome message for your instance is now moved to the Server Setting in the Settings section in the Administration page on the web

Hardening storage template move operation: verify files are copied correctly when operating across filesystem boundaries

External domain setting: allow the usage of a different domain for shared links

Native hash calculation on iOS: significantly speeds up the initial hash calculation

Introduce Onboarding flow for new instances: Show the admin common settings of the instance for a better user experience.

CLI version 2.0.6 was released on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@immich/cli

Search is now working across the partner’s assets.

After a couple years on Fedora I decided to do one more Distro hop- to one I have little experience with, openSUSE.

But it seems the everything from the installer, philosophy, package manager, configs, and general way of working is just very different than every Distro I've tried before (Debian/*Buntu, Fedora, Arch, Gentoo)

Like what's up with YaST? It's like a system-wide settings/configs program plus a package manager front end unique to openSUSE?

And to update grub it seems the best command is "update-bootloader" - for example. This isn't standard on anything else afaik. Is there anywhere other than practice I can learn all of these quirks?

Thought I'd advertise this at least one more time with a new wave of users. Having a commmunity for truckers is sorely needed!

!truckers@thelemmy.club

Well I never had spam issues, until 0.18 forced captchas to be disabled. Thankfully the bots just seem to be signing up, not doing much yet. Using fake emails that never get verified.

So I threw together a little script. Just put this in a sh file, and create a cron job or systemd service to run it every 15 minutes or so. Use your favorite text edit tool to replace "thelemmyclub" with your instance name, or whatever you have your docker containers named. (Check docker ps). You'll also have to be able to run docker without sudo, so add your user to the docker group or put the cron job on root (if you do that make sure only root can access the file, for security)

Also if you set up manually without docker, well I'm sure you have the skills to adapt these commands appropriately.

First though run:

docker exec -it thelemmyclub_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -d lemmy -c "select * from local_user where id in (select local_user_id from email_verification where published < (NOW() - INTERVAL '60 minute'));"

This will list all users who haven't completed email verification, except those that are under an hour old. If you think these are all abandoned accounts and bots, carry on. It's always best to check before doing things to live databases...

Edit: thanks to input from @freeskier@centennialstate.social

The sh file you need:

#! /bin/bash
docker exec -it thelemmyclub_postgres_1 psql -U lemmy -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -d lemmy -c "DELETE FROM person WHERE local = 'true' AND id IN (SELECT person_id FROM local_user WHERE id IN (SELECT local_user_id FROM email_verification WHERE published < (NOW() - INTERVAL '60 minute')));"

This will delete all users over an hour old who haven't completed email verification. (Only applies to accounts made after you enabled email verification, so older accounts are safe)

Hope this helps!

Hello fellow steering wheel holders! Join us over at:

/c/truckers@thelemmy.club

If the above link doesn't work, just search one of these in your instance's search bar:

!truckers@thelemmy.club

Then, search again.

Very very good. Crust came out too tough but almost certainly my fault.
