v1.92.0

Highlights

Welcome to the first Immich release of 2024, v1.92.0. This release is packed with features, bug fixes, and improvements. Let’s dive into some of the highlights of this release.

• [BREAKING CHANGE] The welcome message for your instance is now moved to the Server Setting in the Settings section in the Administration page on the web
• Hardening storage template move operation: verify files are copied correctly when operating across filesystem boundaries
• External domain setting: allow the usage of a different domain for shared links
• Native hash calculation on iOS: significantly speeds up the initial hash calculation
• Introduce Onboarding flow for new instances: Show the admin common settings of the instance for a better user experience.
• CLI version 2.0.6 was released on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@immich/cli
• Search is now working across the partner’s assets.

Hardening storage template

We have further hardened the storage template move mechanism to not leave any files in the upload folder behind. Making the job concurrency a fixed number and performing database lock between the move jobs will resolve some outstanding issues and stabilize this core feature.

For new instances, the storage template mechanism is now disabled by default (existing instances won’t be affected). This means files uploaded to the server will be stored in the upload folder and not moved to the library folder. To provide a nice user experience, we added the onboarding feature, as seen below, to inform users that the storage template is disabled by default, and they can enable it before uploading any photos or videos to the instance to avoid confusion.

This is also the continued effort to add support for other storage backends, such as Amazon S3 or Backblaze B2, in the future.

External domain setting

Add the option to set the instance's "external domain" when constructing the shared link URL to copy to the clipboard.

Admin Settings

Shared Links

And as always, bugs are fixed, and many other improvements also come with this release.
