ImageGenius Changes:

add typesense

immich Changes:

v1.51.0

Breaking Changes 🚨

This release added a new container to Immich's ecosystem, namely Typesense. Please update your docker-compose.yml file to include the new container and .env file to have the new environment variable, which is TYPESENSE_API_KEY=some-random-text, TYPESENSE_API_KEY is a requirement for Typesense container to spin up, you can use any text for the key, the server will use that value to create a client to communicate with the Typesense container.

Please make sure to have your server and mobile app on the same version so that the app can work correctly.

Typesense container is required for now, but we plan to make it optional with the fallback of using Postgres full-text search for the searching mechanism. 

  immich-server:
    depends_on:
      ...  
      - typesense
   
  immich-microservices:
    ...  
    depends_on:
      ...
      - typesense
  
  typesense:
    container_name: immich_typesense
    image: typesense/typesense:0.24.0
    environment:
      - TYPESENSE_API_KEY=${TYPESENSE_API_KEY}
      - TYPESENSE_DATA_DIR=/data
    logging:
      driver: none
    volumes:
      - tsdata:/data

[...]

volumes:
  pgdata:
  model-cache:
  tsdata:

Please ensure to add typesense to the depend_on section of the immich-server and immich-microservices containers.

Highlighted

This is one of the more extended release breaks (a total of 53 pull requests were merged) that we've had for a while due to some large items that we've been working on, such as:

Integrating Typesense and CLIP for a better search system

As mentioned in the previous releases, we want a better search system. As Immich aims to be a fully featured Google Photos alternative, we want to provide you with the best search experience possible. We've been working on integrating Typesense and CLIP into Immich to provide you with a top-notch searching experience for your larger libraries.

We chose Typesense for its open-source nature, attractive features, and self-hosting capability.

We chose CLIP for its ability to search for images based on their content rather than their metadata. So you can do something like this:

SCR-20230320-fyi-2

SCR-20230320-fz6

The CLIP embedding data is a new column in the database. To get that info for your previously uploaded assets, please consider running the ENCODE CLIP job in the admin’s job panel

We will continue to iterate and improve the search feature in the subsequent releases. We would appreciate any feedback about the initial implementation - what works well and what areas could be improved.

Note: The mobile app does not incorporate this feature yet. It is only applicable to the web in this release.

Allow the mobile app to work offline without an internet connection or when the server is down.

Previously, when the server was down, or your phone didn't have an internet connection, tapping on anything in the mobile app would send you back to the login screen. This is because the mobile app couldn’t retrieve any data from the server. We've added a new feature that allows the mobile app to work offline, so you can still view your photos and videos cached or stored on your device even when the server is down or you don't have an internet connection.

In addition, when viewing photos and videos residing on your device, these are no longer loaded from the server but directly from the device. This reduces your mobile data usage and increases the loading speed of thumbnails while scrolling the timeline.

This has been a more significant feature that required a lot of refactoring from @fyfrey over many months-long processes. We're pleased to be able to release this feature to you finally.

As in other releases, we've also added many smaller features and bug fixes, so please check out the full changelog below.
