at least, @vhsdream need to check it, we only approve if he gives the "go" 😄

No problem. I just want to test 2.3.1 myself. As I have a problem with the web app freeze (https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/tag/v2.3.1).

[vhsdream]

The Immich update adds plugins (or at least the framework for future plugins), so I'm figuring out how to integrate that into the script since it requires new tooling.

If it was a simple version bump I would have done it already.

[CrazyWolf13]

@vhsdream will you create your own PR then? So we can close this?

[jcisio]

As I wanted to test if an upgrade would fix my install, it turned out it didn't work. I'll just restore my lxc from a backup.

Closing the PR because I have no intention to go farther than that simple bump. Thanks @vhsdream for your future PRs!

FWIW the issue is with Immich immich-app/immich#24009: if you are at 2.2.3 and the app crashes and you can't update to 2.3.1, then you need to clear the database update check then disable that option once you log in as admin.

Can you describe how to do this? I can't do anything on the web app right now, as it is completely frozen.

For Proxmox Helper Script Instance:

sudo -u postgres psql -d immich
DELETE FROM system_metadata WHERE key = 'version-check-state';

If we are patient and wait for the update, will it still be necessary to clear the database update check?

[LeLunZ]

@fabb24 no if you are patient, and wait for the update the issue will resolve itself when updating to >2.3.1.

[jcisio]

If you don't need to use Immich, or don't have a problem with it (i.e. you don't use an admin account), then you can just wait for an update.

Otherwise this db fix is harmless. Besides, since we use Immich with the Community scripts, we likely don't need to have the update check.

I'm new to Proxmox. Wouldn't the version check notification be helpful to know when to run update?

[vhsdream]

The version check is for a new Immich version upstream, ie from the Immich team. For an app of this complexity, we need to first verify whether there are new features added, and if there are, we need to manually figure out how to install them in an LXC. During that time, the allowed version is pinned to what we've verified is working.

So the app may report there's an update available, but running update in the console will not update Immich until we say so.

my Version 2.2.3 build 3026 is only working with the android app. firefox and edge dont work anymore.
