Synology Container Manager Update Process

[b-onc]

Hello,

My Synology's Container Manager does not show an update for Immich:

My instance is pretty old now (v1.114.0) and I'm looking for the correct way to update my instance.

Please read here: https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose. And make sure your docker-compose.yml and .env files are up-to-date.

I also have a Synology and this is what I do:

• Login using SSH to your NAS
• Run the following commands:
  cd /volume1/path to docker-compose location
  sudo docker-compose pull && sudo docker-compose up -d

Thank you, do you also use container manager?

[theovds]

Yep.

My solution is to use Control Panel > Task Scheduler > Create a triggered task (disable)
When I want to update, right-click and select Run.

Thank you, is it not necessary to stop the container(s) before running this?

[murphy1995721]

It's not need to stop the containers. You can directly execute the Task Scheduler.
After the pull is completed, go to Container Manager > Image to check if the "Time Created" reflects the new version's timestamp.
Then go to Container Manager > Project, select immich project and Stop > Clean > Build. This will complete the upgrade.

Wouldn't cleaning it delete the metadata related to media? Cached stuff and such?
