Immich android re-uploads files after docker restart (feddit.uk)

Hello,

I've noticed that when I restart my docker compose stack, the app seems to think that the server doesn't have copies of the latest files and re-uploads them.

The files can be seen in the filesystem of the host, but not through the web interface until they have been re-uploaded. The app uploads duplicates of all the files, at which point the web can see them again, and the fs has duplicates of everything.

This happens when I restart the stack, no upgrades to the system, just docker compose down and docker compose up -d

My set up is using an unmodified compose file from the docs. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Like, could there be a duplicate dB volume and when the stack gets restarted, docker picks one or the other?

I'm not sure that is possible. Once a service has a volume defined it'll use that unless you manually change it.

But if you don't have a volume defined, data won't persist when the service is updated.

If you're just using the compose stack given by Immich, then everything should be set up properly though.

The volume is defined like this at the end of the compose file

database:
    container_name: immich_postgres
    image: registry.hub.docker.com/tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0@sha256:90724186f0a3517cf6914295b5ab410db9ce23190a2d9d0b9dd6463e3fa298f0
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
      POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USERNAME}
      POSTGRES_DB: ${DB_DATABASE_NAME}
    volumes:
      - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    restart: always

volumes:
  pgdata:
  model-cache:

Yeah that looks fine, odd.

I assume this is a pretty normal install of Ubuntu, and /var/lib/docker hasn't been messed with at all?

[–] anytimesoon@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That's correct. Ubuntu is basically just a platform to run docker, haven't really touched it. Docker is the same. Just using it to run my containers. Haven't ventured at all into /var/lib/docker

The weird thing is that it's intermittent. It's only happened twice since I started using immich. I've been restarting the containers repeatedly for a few days now and it hasnt happened again.

It's really weird. I think there are somehow two database volumes on my system.

The reason I think this is because:

I am the only user
there is only one user in the user table
there are two folders in the upload folders. Both have a uuid as their name and one of the uuids matches with the user id in the database
the user_token table has tokens no tokens from before this happened to me a couple days ago

So, where did this other user come from? Why have none of my log ins been tracked in the database before the incident?
