Immich v2.2.0 adds OCR

https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/tag/v2.2.0

Also the docker images now have a major tag v2 that should keep your installation up-to-date on the stable branch.

Have they added the ability to rotate your photos yet?

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 16 pts · 297d (1 reply)

I don't see an ability to rotate in the web app. It's been available for a long time in the mobile app though.

theyllneverfindmehere@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 297d

It's been available.... "Kind of"

It creates a copy of your photo and rotates that. Leaving the original. Which I guess I can see being useful sometimes but it's very annoying in practice last I checked it.

Or open an editor?

Edit: I had a long day and I read your comment wrong I think. I realize you were probably adding onto my comment rather than suggesting steps I take. I apologize for coming in hot like that, it's my bad. I've left the original comment below. Again, sorry.

Orginal comment: Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't thought to open a seperate piece of software to manage my photos, instead of using the software I'm using to manage my photos.

I was just asking for a quality of life feature.

Fmstrat@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 290d

Hah, yea. 100% adding on 😀 Hopefully tomorrow is a brighter day!

The OCR job is running rather slow though. It does about 3 photos per second with 8 jobs concurrency on a Ryzen 7900.

First_Thunder@lemmy.zip · 52 pts · 297d (5 replies)

Im undecided whether being slow is or is not a problem, simply because it’s one of those things that you do once to the entire library and then it’s just half a dozen fotos a day

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 14 pts · 297d (4 replies)

Oh it's not a problem on ongoing basis. Just the initial scan is gonna take forever here. 150K photos...

hanrahan@piefed.social · 21 pts · 297d (2 replies)

The solution to that is to delete 130k photos :)

I started culling mine years ago, still wading though

Is it the ml service? I an thinking to deploy on the much more powerful desktop and temporarily point the server to it.

Thats just 14h tho, not too bad.

My i3 7100 is about to get a workout

Edit: did 15,000 photos overnight so not bad at all

Laughs in i5-4590

Edit: Oh God I'm getting about 1 image every 2 seconds, 1 image at a time. Looks like I'm gonna be here for the next 14 hours.

Edit 2: it's been 9 hours. I'm halfway done.

BootLoop@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 297d (3 replies)

Yours is faster haha. It's the 7100T which is the 35w low power model that the Lenovo mini PCs came with. The only advantage is it has decent video decode hardware so it can handle media transcoding better.

I5-2450M for the win

First_Thunder@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 297d

Used to have a server as a desktop dual socket where I did upgrade the CPUs to that exact model for like 50€ total

guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip · 1 pts · 296d

Update to my i7-2600k, it’s taking 6 seconds per image

lukalix98@programming.dev · 8 pts · 297d (1 reply)

What kind of processing is happening really under the hood, is there an image preprocess, lang detection, script detection, orientation, etc?

douglasg14b@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 296d

I mean, yeah, probably all of these things.

Finally it will be easier to search my vast catalog of memes.

MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 296d (1 reply)

That's AWESOME. I hope Nextcloud gets better at this soon. So far I've been needing to spend some time renaming the files from 64 character CDN hash names to tags like

"Monkey,gibbon,spin,woop,reaction.gif"

It's worked somewhat well so far if I try to keep it as simple and obvious as possible.

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 296d

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 297d

That's what I'm waiting for as well. Online meme services are failing.

ericheese@lemmy.zip · 12 pts · 297d (1 reply)

I find that the existing search also kind of does ocr

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 297d

Somewhat. I'm guessing this would be proper full OCR, perhaps even selectable. Still scanning.

Do I need to update the IMMICH_VERSION tag in my .env file to v2?

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 297d

It's what I did. Or you could keep it on a fixed version.

corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca · -49 pts · 297d (14 replies)

Still crutching on containers?

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca · 14 pts · 297d

Always and forever!

AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today · 13 pts · 297d

Containers are better than any other option, so of course they're being used! I'm gunna use containers even harder!

B0rax@feddit.org · 8 pts · 297d (10 replies)

What would you prefer and why? Bare metal?

Cyber@feddit.uk · -2 pts · 297d

Gotta chime in with a +1 for bare metal too...

cevn@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 297d (8 replies)

Ideally yea. Rpm package with various architectures. 90% of other software is able to do it. I only use docker for immich and this would remove a dependency for me.

B0rax@feddit.org · 6 pts · 297d (2 replies)

Why though? When you run multiple services on your machine, conflicts between these can cause headaches. Updating them is also often not trivial on bare metal. Let alone migrating to a newly set up machine (I suppose you could automate that with something like ansible)

cevn@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 297d (1 reply)

I run jellyfin, plex, mattermost, peertube, minecraft, all under one host. Never had anything conflict and just upgrade the rpms. Some of them use the same postgres database. Thats how I prefer to do things. I will use docker if absolutely forced, I know how, understand its easier to deploy etc. but I would rather it be the choice of the user instead of the software. Or if not rpm let me get in the source and run it.

Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 296d

(...) would rather it be the choice of the user (...)

And that's totally okay.

Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 296d

Well...Docker is my only dependency.

Cyber@feddit.uk · 0 pts · 296d

Every way?

Well, apart from simplicity and security I suppose... and networking...

Oh, and storage...

But, before you think I'm arguing with you, I'm not... Containers have their place, VMs also, they are just for different uses.

In this case, I have a NAS, with Immich installed directly on it and I don't have to mess with any abstraction layers... and it all plays nice with the other applications.

Maybe yours is different... but mine is better on bare metal.

There's always one of these comments and it's always incredibly similar.
