Exif elevation data not being returned in GET assets/{id} call

When I inspect the returned exifInfo object, it contains lat/long, shutter, lens, camera, etc., but does not contain the elevation data. If I download the image and inspect the exif info, the elevation is present and correct (or at least close enough to what I think it should be that it's not being defaulted by the tool). Is that just a limitation of Immich at the moment?

How to Migrate Media from Google Photos, Synology Photos and NAS folders?

Hi all,

I am now owner of a Homeserver running Unraid - with docker Immich. What a great piece of software!

Now I am challenged by my next steps: How and if at all do I migrate my existing media into Immich, what are best practices?

My Situation:

  • clean Immich
  • Synology NAS: In folders sorted by year and month (2025/12) I have 80.000+ personal photos and videos (mostly shot with my DSLR cam)
  • Synology NAS with Android Photos App: 5000+ media files backuped with Android Photos Synology App from two different phones (my partners and mine)
  • Google Photos: those should be already same ones that I have backuped with Synology Photos

My questions:

  • How can I import and still keep the seperation of my partners and my media?
  • Would you import all NAS media (80.000+) right into Immich or rather link it as an external libary?
  • Duplication check: Would you just import all files and let Immich check for duplicates? Or would you clean up all files before import?
  • How should I import the media at all? Is immich-go the right way to go? Other better options?
  • How do I handle future imports regarding Mobile Phone and DSLR? Do you import everything? Or do you only backup mobile media and keep those DSLR media in an external library?

I apologize, as some of the questions are being asked multple times, but in all discussions, I still have questions left for my indivudal situation.

thanks a lot guys!

Practically no deletion sync functionality

Hi, I’ve started using Immich and I have realised that Immich does have deletion sync at all. How can I request this feature? Or is this in the works already?

This is causing some syncing trouble and unwanted storage issues. Please help.

Restarted my server, now portainer is asking me to create account again.

As it says in title.

I'm running portainer on my QNAP server, and after (correctly). Portainer asked me to create a new user as if initializing for the first time. Well I did that, but now I can't control the immich stack I created in portainer.

It seems to think the stack was created outside portainer, I can't even shut immich down or delete it and recreate it. Is there anything I can do? Can i just delete portainer and reinstall it without losing my immich data?

Why did I create all these doubles?

I had a party recently. I tried so hard to get folks to upload to my shared immich album: crickets. Gawd people are SO LAZY.

So I caved and shared a Google album. Three folks added pics: yay. I wanted them in my Real album on immich. It wasn't super easy to cherry pick out the added pics only - so I grabbed the entire thing and re-uploaded the pics. Drag and drop from windows right into the album.

Immich caught none of the doubles and left me with 2x all the pics.

Where did I go wrong?

[iOS] No ”Upload image” button in app

I can’t find a upload photo buttom inside the app. Currently the way i can upload photos to Immich is by going inside the photos app -> select photos to be uploaded -> share -> Immich.

Is this the intended way or am i just missing some setting or what?

Best way to use an Immich library from a third-party photo manager on Linux?

I want to be able to open my Immich library from a third-party photo management app on Linux, navigate through it easily, and eventually modify it as well, using something like Gnome Photos, (edit: ok this is not receiving updates anymore) Shotwell (edit: and this doesn't allow flawless sftp connection) or digiKam.

I recently found the Immich SFTP Server, which seems to make it possible to mount an Immich library over SFTP and then handle it locally as if it were a normal folder. I didn't yet try this, but I am wondering whether this is actually the best available solution for this use case.

Immich not loading on local IP

After the recent update, Immich is not loading for me on the local IP address on web. I get the rotation flower. But its accessible through the public domain.

The only exception is the mobile app. That works well with both the local IP and public domain.

Anyone else faced a similar issue, what can I do to correct that?
