Originally created by @skutter-de on GitHub (Feb 6, 2022).
As I already mentioned on Reddit, some people will have their photo volume mounted on their desktops via SMB or similar. When adding a picture there (let's say, when dumping from a DSLR), immich should watch the file system and index new files automatically.
@alextran1502 commented on GitHub (Feb 6, 2022):
I was hoping to do this through a web interface instead, so the flow is unified and to avoid the dependence on different file system architecture. I will put this as enhancement for the next milestone of the app :)
@ippocratis commented on GitHub (Feb 12, 2022):
not sure if Gaming4LifeDE meant the same thing
but
an indexer for local files on server is absolutely missing and would be usefull
if not that maybe some sort of importer , like a way to import photos already on the machine the server is running into immich
@alextran1502 commented on GitHub (Feb 12, 2022):
@ippocratis Yes, it is exactly what @Gaming4LifeDE means. I am leaning toward an importer with a web interface though, so I can leverage the current APIs on the server-side. Once I got the mobile app stable, this is one of the first feature I am going to work on next
@alextran1502 commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2022):
@Gaming4LifeDE , @ippocratis
I've created a CLI tool to upload images/video from your local machine/server to Immich
You can take a look and test here https://github.com/alextran1502/immich_cli
Please rebuild the server before testing, I added some additional helper functions on the server to accommodate the CLI tool
Let me know how it goes.
@ippocratis commented on GitHub (Mar 8, 2022):
recloned the immich repo and tried to rebuild
i'm having tensorflow errors again
looked at package.json there are no tensorflow dependencies
where should i look?
@alextran1502 commented on GitHub (Mar 8, 2022):
@ippocratis I am running TensorFlow in its own service, you can remove/commented out
immich_tf_fastapiin the docker-compose file to not run it.@ippocratis commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2022):
@alextran1502
comented the above lines in docker-compose.yml
cntainers builds
but i cant add a user with the curl command
also varus redis errors
@alextran1502 commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2022):
@ippocratis can you show me your docker-compose file?
@ippocratis commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2022):
@alextran1502
@alextran1502 commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2022):
@ippocratis can you use this command to run docker-compose
'docker-compose -f ./docker/docker-compose.yml up --build -V'
Since there is new update in package.json, docker needs to copy and rebuild the node_modules
I believe that should solve the problem
@ippocratis commented on GitHub (Mar 9, 2022):
@alextran1502
Yep that was it
It was pretty clear in the readme actualy
'force rebuild node modules after installing new packages'
Sorry
@spupuz commented on GitHub (May 16, 2022):
i try that but still proxy_nginx ports are not available
@tokenwizard commented on GitHub (Jun 22, 2022):
I, too, would love to see this as a way to have Immich work with NextCloud uploads. Since I am already automatically backing up my mobile photos to my NC instance, it would be great if I could point Immich to that folder and let it do its thing when a new photo is added to NC.
If I'm understanding, I can add my NC Photos folder where it says ${UPLOAD_LOCATION} in the docker-compose.yml shown above and that would allow what I'm trying to accomplish?
volumes: - ../server:/usr/src/app - ${NEXTCLOUD_PHOTOS_FOLDER}:/usr/src/app/upload - /usr/src/app/node_modules@alextran1502 commented on GitHub (Jun 22, 2022):
@tokenwizard Immich doesn't watch for files in the
UPLOAD_LOCATION. It is the location where the server put the asset uploaded from your phone and from the web.There is currently no plan to integrate with NextCloud in the foreseeable future as we are focusing on building out a fully functional platform
However, Immich has a CLI tool (out-of-date at the moment with the recent releases) that can perform bulk upload to Immich server so you can move everything to Immich by that way(
@tokenwizard commented on GitHub (Jun 22, 2022):
Ah, ok. I already have a functioning setup with NC handling all my automatic backups and PhotoView indexing my NC folder. I was just hoping to take advantage of Immich's better AI/Recognition services.
Thanks for the reply.
@nk950357 commented on GitHub (Sep 4, 2022):
So immich won't have ability that manages existing folder's photos, right?
If I have much of photos in existing nas folder, immich needs uses CLI to uplod these photos into immich's upload folder to manage them, right?
@ashishjullia commented on GitHub (Nov 5, 2022):
Did you guys ever find a solution which can be a workaround for this and doesn't require having duplicates of same files one in your already existing folder/directory and one in the immich's upload directory.
@tazzytazzy commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2022):
I just found this app, it looks amazing! However, I'm already using Folder Sync Pro on our android devices and manage our photos from home using DigiKam. Any changes get pushed back to our phones.
It would be absolutely amazing to be able to have this app use a couple of local directories and make them available thru Immich.
If you are going to implement this, hopefully do it in a way that allow multiple directories. For example:
/home/username1/Pictures
/home/username2/Pictures
/home/shared/Pictures
This is currently our workflow and it's been working for us.
Love your work and doing an amazing job!
@alextran1502 commented on GitHub (Nov 22, 2022):
I am starting the discussion for the implementation here #1006
@etnoy commented on GitHub (Jul 5, 2023):
Will be solved when https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/3124 is merged
@etnoy commented on GitHub (Sep 20, 2023):
Fixed in #3124
@daniele-athome commented on GitHub (Sep 20, 2023):
Wasn't this issue about using a notification mechanism (e.g. inotify on Linux)?
@jrasm91 commented on GitHub (Sep 20, 2023):
This issue and associated discussion were about a lot of things, but all generally related to the approach of auto import into immich without uploading/copying. Basically the new library approach. IMO this can stay closed and we can open a new request for library improvements like automatic change detection, etc., which can now be revisited in the context of libraries.
