Update Immich CLI inside Docker Container

[barren relic]

Hi!
Im running Immich within Unraid with the imagegenius Docker Container. (ghcr.io/imagegenius/immich:latest)

My current CLI version is 2.0.7. How can I update to 2.1.0? Is there a command I can execute within the Immich container?

I wanna use the CLI to bulk upload all my existing photos.
I'm facing the same problem as stated here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/immich/comments/1bcjys9/errors_with_immich_cli_help/

Dry run works, but the real upload fails. As a solution I should update to CLI 2.1.0.

Thank you!

cd /app/immich/server/ && npm i @immich/cli

[barren relic]

that worked, thanks! Upload still not working, but maybe thats on my end now. I'll look into it.

[barren relic]

okay, works fine now, thanks again!

[jaunty tendon]

You're welcome 😄

[barren relic]

Noob question but I always tried it with this command: npm i -g @immich/cli

Can you explain, why this didn't pull the newest version?

[jaunty tendon]

What's the output for which immich ?

[barren relic]

root@8174175d9136:/# which immich /usr/local/bin/immich

[jaunty tendon]

Yeah so it uses the custom executable here

https://github.com/imagegenius/docker-immich/blob/main/root/usr/local/bin/immich

which uses the immich cli installed with the server project

So npm i -g @immich/cli installed it

But running immich ... does not use it

[barren relic]

but it's working after running cd /app/immich/server/ && npm i @immich/cli

[jaunty tendon]

Yeah because that command updates the cli installed in the server project
