Just to let everyone know. Immich now requires a new postgres extension and moved from pgvecto.rs to pgvector https://immich.app/docs/administration/postgres-standalone/#migrating-to-vectorchord

This means we have to see how to support this in our postgres addon and then see how to migrate existing installations. So this will require a Cloudron platform update first, in case you wonder why the app isn't updated.

@nebulon I wanted to ask about the plans on making pgvector available for Immich. Is this already on the horizon?

[nebulon]

Yes it is on the roadmap, but requires Cloudron 9 first, which will then come with VectorChord and will sunset pgvercto.rs.
pgvector as required by VectorChord will still be available. It is all a bit confusing as the field was/is under heavy development to consolidate on one approach for postgres.

In fact we will even have to do a two-step approach, since currently released (for Cloudron) Immich versions only support VectorChord <= 0.3, while upstream VectorChord is at 0.4+ already and newer Immich versions want >= 0.3

@nebulon Thanks for the explanation; that really sounds confusing and not easy to solve with a shared database. We're in a similar boat with the product I'm working on during my day job. Keep up the good work with Cloudron, thank you!

The latest Immich mobile app no longer syncs with the server for me.
Thanks for your work on this when v9 is ready.

After some app update, I got a circle of doom please wait while indexing / hashing (a term I don't remember) ... ANyway it didn't ever finished and I restarted the phone for a different update. Opened immich again, & I had to reselect the "backup" folders with photos on my phone before they displayed again, and even then it only showed them as on local device, despite them being also on the server (confirmed via a web browser). mobile app seems a bit janky right now

[AartJansen]

@nebulon Got a date in mind for the platform upgrade? the mobile is app, is janky / broken in its current state.

[rollermy]

I love using Cloudron as much as possible. And I'm thankful for the work the team does.
For Immich, especially since it isn't stable yet, I'm thinking self hosting is going to be the better option. The mobile app needs the latest server release and I'm uncomfortable with it being broken, especially not knowing how long it will stay that way. The last update here was 4 months ago. It's unfortunate the breaking change in Immich and the Cloudron release cycle clashed.

[nebulon]

Agree this is not good. I am also using it personally and this needs to be fixed. Issue is that, this time it collided with the major Cloudron platform update taking much longer for us to get out. Next time we will prioritize this better to get a new postgres addon version out sooner
