Hi guys,

I run immich in docker on Unraid and absolutly love it. I am a bit confused tho about the updates. I always check before updating to see if there are any breaking changes involved. Most of the time when an update in docker drops however there is no new release on the github release page. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases Does anyone know what that is about?

Thanks for your help.

    it’s because the immich app in unraid isn’t directly pulling from the official docker image(s), but it’s manually updated by another person here https://github.com/imagegenius/docker-immich

    in this case it’s done because it’s safer and the maintainer will take care of any breaking changes, so you don’t get the update immediately

    Just like the application running in your docker container, the “image”, that you base your docker container on, is also a separate thing that uses versions.

    A newly built and published docker image doesn’t necessarily mean that the application inside of it has a new version (which could definitely be the case) but that something with that docker image has changed, maybe dependencies have changed or that the process in building the docker image has been optimized.
