v1.86.0

v1.86.0

Warning

Breaking Changes

• The server and mobile app must be on the same version for the application to work correctly.
• The mobile app might log you out. You will need to log in again for this release since we are changing some of the APIs and cannot auto-resolve when the user is logged in.
• Docker compose auto-names resources based on the project name, with a fallback to the current folder. In feat!: add docker project name #4906 we now set the project name to “immich” in our docker compose file. For existing installs, we recommend ignoring this change as it would lead to orphaned resources.

We are sorry for the inconvenience

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.86.0 of Immich. This release brings you some of the highly requested features and a lot of bug fixes and improvements. Let’s dive right into the highlighted features below:

• Partner sharing on the main timeline (Web & Mobile)
• New map tile server
• Support for additional facial recognition models
• User’s avatar color
• Notable fix: “Missing” for the recognize faces job now will only process an asset a single time, even when no faces are detected (feat(server): don't re-run face recognition on assets without any faces #4854)
• Notable fix: user first/last name has been merged into a single “name” field (fix: replace first and last name with single field #4915)

Partner sharing on the main timeline

In this release we have added an option to enable parter-shared photos to be displayed in the main timeline. This feature can be enabled on a per-partner basis and can be viewed and updated on both the web and mobile app.

For the web interface: Account’s Setting > Sharing > Show in timeline

For the mobile app: from the partner’s view, on the top right corner of the app bar

Related to this new feature, the people-sharing card has been redesigned to make it easier to understand what is being shared, and with whom.

Now that assets from multiple users can appear in the timeline, there are some caveats, namely:

• You can view partners’ media and add them to an album. No other actions are allowed on those assets.
• Facial data is not shared (yet)
• The search result doesn’t include partners’ assets (yet)
• You cannot favorite partners’ assets (yet)
• You are at the mercy of the partners' actions (as it should be) on the asset they own. If the partner decides to delete or archive an asset belonging to them, it will not be displayed on your timeline.
• Partner sharing may result in displaying duplicate assets on the main timeline. We would like to address this soon.

New map tile server

Since Immich has been growing quickly, we got a reminder from the community that we were using OpenStreetMap’s tile server. We have switched to a different default tile server to avoid violating the Tile Usage Policy. This created an opportunity to build our custom layer to make the map’s look-and-feel slicker.

Support for additional facial recognition models

We’ve added additional support for antelopev2 and buffalo_m as the supported facial recognition models:

antelopev2 has the same detection model as buffalo_l, but a roughly 50% larger recognition model.
buffalo_m has the same recognition model as buffalo_l, but a smaller detection model.

User’s avatar color

We added an option to change the color of your avatar if you don’t want to upload a profile picture. This mechanism will help to distinguish the user in the Activity panel on the album page.

This discussion was created from the release v1.86.0.

[iheartpizza1]

Hi, I've encountered several issues upgrading to this release, which were not mentioned in the breaking changes list.

1. I'm using a config.json file. When starting the containers, immich-server & microservices threw errors "Unknown keys in json [object Object]; invalid config file". After figuring out what has changed in the config file using diff of v1.85.0, I've changed my config file and tried starting the containers again.
   [Nest] 7 - 11/14/2023, 8:45:53 AM ERROR [SystemConfigCore] Unable to load configuration file: /usr/immich-config.json due to Error: Unknown keys found: [object Object] Error: Unknown keys found: [object Object] at SystemConfigCore.loadFromFile (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.core.js:313:27) at async SystemConfigCore.getConfig (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.core.js:241:44) at async SystemConfigService.getConfig (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.service.js:38:24) at async Injector.instantiateClass (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:369:37) at async callback (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:65:34) at async Injector.resolveConstructorParams (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:144:24) at async Injector.loadInstance (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:70:13) at async Injector.loadProvider (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:97:9) at async /usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/instance-loader.js:56:13 at async Promise.all (index 24) [Nest] 7 - 11/14/2023, 8:45:53 AM ERROR [ExceptionHandler] Invalid configuration file Error: Invalid configuration file at SystemConfigCore.loadFromFile (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.core.js:319:23) at async SystemConfigCore.getConfig (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.core.js:241:44) at async SystemConfigService.getConfig (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.service.js:38:24) at async Injector.instantiateClass (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:369:37) at async callback (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:65:34) at async Injector.resolveConstructorParams (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:144:24) at async Injector.loadInstance (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:70:13) at async Injector.loadProvider (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:97:9) at async /usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/instance-loader.js:56:13 at async Promise.all (index 24)
   Referring to the removed config key map.tileUrl, and the added keys map.lightStyle, map.darkStyle.

2. I've tried unbinding the config file from the server & microservices containers, but that caused them to throw errors "invalid config file, cannot find config file at <previous, non-existent path>". So after starting using the config file, we're stuck using it without the ability to stop using it?
   [Nest] 7 - 11/14/2023, 8:48:08 AM ERROR [SystemConfigCore] Unable to load configuration file: /usr/immich-config.json due to Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/immich-config.json' Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/immich-config.json' [Nest] 7 - 11/14/2023, 8:48:08 AM ERROR [ExceptionHandler] Invalid configuration file Error: Invalid configuration file at SystemConfigCore.loadFromFile (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.core.js:319:23) at async SystemConfigCore.getConfig (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.core.js:241:44) at async SystemConfigService.getConfig (/usr/src/app/dist/domain/system-config/system-config.service.js:38:24) at async Injector.instantiateClass (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:369:37) at async callback (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:65:34) at async Injector.resolveConstructorParams (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:144:24) at async Injector.loadInstance (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:70:13) at async Injector.loadProvider (/usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/injector.js:97:9) at async /usr/src/app/node_modules/@nestjs/core/injector/instance-loader.js:56:13 at async Promise.all (index 24)

3. Cannot login from Android app, getting some error "url /oauth/config not found". Downgrading to v1.85.0 didn't help, as now when trying to login from the app, I'm getting server error "QueryFailedError: column user.firstName does not exist". After upgrading again to v1.86.0, and again changing the config file, suddenly the app is able to login.

[jrasm91]

Yes we did not document the config change very well for the tile url.

I would recommend deleting all config that you are not specifically changing, then it will use the default values and you will have less breaking changes to fix.

#5028
Any advice is welcome

[sean13013]

The "partner sharing on main timeline" is awesome!

[daniele-athome]

I previously configured a custom tile server URL, but I see the setting has disappeared. What server is Immich using now? Can I still use a custom URL?

[bo0tzz]

We've switched to using Maplibre-gl and vector tiles. You can still configure a custom URL, though now it needs to point to a MapLibre style specification json file. AFAIK most map APIs offer those.

The new default tile server is sponsored and hosted by some friends of the maintainer team.

[daniele-athome]

Oh, sorry I thought "the style URL" was just something to add only custom CSS to the map. So it's also used the get the actual tiles, ok.
Thank you.

[pmontgo33]

Do you know when the 1.86 will come to F-Droid? I am a new user, and couldn't figure out why I can't login to the mobile app until I found these release notes. Thanks and looking forward to trying this out!

[shenlong-tanwen]

It usually takes about 4-7 days for the app to be updated on F-Droid.
