Self-hosting my photos with Immich

I had immich running great for a while, maybe for months. It would seamlessly sync photos from phone to local home server. I was going to setup nightly outbound sync too (1 is none, 2 is some).

I updated the container for usual appliance maintenance. Entire thing is toast. Metadata files can't be read, mounted, permission issues and more. It's been four months since.

That is why you should never update stuff that works :)

This is why I just can't deal with self hosting... I'm already burnt out on this kind of stuff in my day job. And something like this will ALWAYS happen eventually.

> permission issues

as an un-solicited drive-by suggestion: see if they're owned by root? you may have sudo'd the original run.

since you're at least a few months behind though, do check for breaking changes: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions?discussions... they've pretty consistently had instructions, but you unfortunately mostly have to know to look for it. not sure why the upgrade notification doesn't make it super incredibly painfully obvious.
