Nobody uses the group account anymore, so new albums belong to the
leiding who make them, and share-sync only shared albums the group
account was in. It now first adds the group account as editor to every
album an uploader owns (straight in the database: the API only lets an
album's owner or editors share it), after which the album goes to
everyone like the others. Albums whose name starts with "Privé" or
"Prive" are left alone.
immich stores a notification's data as a JSON string inside the jsonb column, so data->>'albumId' was always null and no invitation was hidden. Unwrap it first.
foto.scoutingmbg.nl now goes straight to immich instead of through
sol-auth. immich starts the Scouts Online login right away, the password
login is off and the login page no longer shows the password of the
shared viewing account. share-sync is on, so everyone gets every album
and the group's library in their timeline.
sol-auth stays deployed for now, so switching the route back is the way
back.
immich has no user groups, so a CronJob shares the group account's
albums with every user, as editor when they may upload (quota other than
0, which authentik sets from Scouts Online) and as viewer otherwise. It
also shares the group account's library as a partner and shows it in
every timeline, since immich only searches your own and your timeline
partners' photos; hides the album invitations for albums older than a
week; and ends OAuth sessions older than 30 days, so people who left the
group lose access at their next login.
Suspended until immich logs in through Scouts Online only.
immich gets its settings from a Secret that ESO renders with the OAuth
client secret from Vault. It keeps the settings that were in the database
(external domain, login page message, storage template) and adds OAuth
through authentik next to the password login, with auto register. With a
config file the settings are read-only in the admin UI.
immich 3 drops pgvecto.rs, which the database no longer uses since the
move to PostgreSQL 17 with VectorChord 1.1.1 (supported range >=0.3 <2)
and pgvector 0.8.6 (>=0.7 <0.9). None of the removed environment
variables are set here. The mobile app cannot pass sol-auth, so there are
no app clients to upgrade first.
Charts after 0.12.0 are only published to the OCI registry. Since 0.13.0
the chart validates its values, and emptyDir volumes no longer accept
size, accessMode or storageClass; they did nothing anyway. Valkey follows
the chart's new default, 9.1.2. Each component now gets its own
ServiceAccount without a mounted token.
Safety net: Longhorn snapshot immich-pg17-pre-v3 and a pg_dump in
~/immich-pg17-pre-v3.dump on opti1, since immich cannot be downgraded.
v2.4.1 only accepts VectorChord >=0.3 <0.6 and refused to start on the new PostgreSQL 17 cluster with VectorChord 1.1.1; from v2.5.0 the range is >=0.3 <2. v2.7.5 is the last 2.x release; the 3.x upgrade comes separately.
The import into immich-postgres-17 matched the old database table for table (assets, embeddings, faces, people, albums, migrations). On start immich builds its VectorChord indexes.
Imported once from the PostgreSQL 14 cluster, whose embeddings were converted to real[] and whose pgvecto.rs extension was dropped first (immich's manual migration). After the import the columns become vector(512) again under VectorChord 1.1.1 with pgvector 0.8.6. A logical import because CNPG can't upgrade in place from the bullseye-based pgvecto.rs image to the bookworm-based VectorChord one.
The database moves from PostgreSQL 14 with pgvecto.rs to a new PostgreSQL 17 cluster with VectorChord. Immich 3 no longer supports pgvecto.rs, and PostgreSQL 14 reaches end of life on 2026-11-12.
ingress-nginx is gone and every app is served by the Envoy Gateway. The certificates were created by cert-manager's ingress-shim and are owned by the Ingresses, so each app now declares its Certificate itself, with the same name, secret and usages, so nothing gets reissued. gateway-shim can't take over because the certificates live in the app namespaces.
immich drops mbg.hensen.io, which has no route, so that one certificate is reissued through the Gateway's HTTP-01 solver.
Also removes the Longhorn test-port redirect URI and updates comments that still described nginx.
Each app gets an HTTPS listener on the Gateway with its existing certificate, an HTTPRoute, and a ReferenceGrant for that certificate. The routes drop Envoy's 15s request timeout, as nginx has no overall limit either. Argo CD and Longhorn follow separately; the Ingresses stay until the switch-over.
Mount patched-ca-bundle (see ca-bundle/) over /etc/ssl/certs so it stops trusting the compromised eMudhra intermediates (https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com). The server gets --use-openssl-ca for Node, machine-learning points requests at the bundle instead of certifi.
