Need Help Updating Immich on Synology NAS (Container Manager)

[lapis osprey]

Hi,

I'm running Immich on my Synology NAS using Container Manager, and everything is working perfectly. However, I've noticed that an update is available when I open the application:

Current Server Version: v1.105.1
Latest Version: v1.111.0
In the .env file that I used to create the Immich-app project, I have IMMICH_VERSION=release set correctly.

Using the Container Manager, I attempted to update by cleaning the project (which removed all the containers) and then recreated the project. While everything was reconfigured successfully, my server version is still stuck on v1.105.1.

I'm not sure what I might be missing. How can I ensure that the update to the latest version is applied correctly?

Thanks for your assistance!

You need to pull the new images

[lapis osprey]

Hi @severe bolt ,

Thanks for your suggestion. I want to clarify that on my Synology NAS, I’m using the Container Manager to manage Docker containers. Unfortunately, the Container Manager does not provide a way to manually pull Docker images directly. Instead, I typically use the "Recreate" feature in the Container Manager, which should handle updating to the latest images by automatically fetching the newest versions.

Here’s what I did:

Cleaned the project: This removed all existing containers.
Recreated the project: This reconfigured the project and should have pulled the latest images.
Despite this, the Immich server version remains on v1.105.1, and I am still seeing the prompt for an update.

I’m unsure how to proceed beyond this. Is there an alternative method to ensure the latest images are being used, or is there a way to force a manual pull within the Container Manager?

Thanks again for your help!

If the version isn't updating then that means recreate isn't pulling the images like you expect

I'm not familiar with this tool so I can't tell you which buttons to push to make it work

[lapis osprey]

Could you confirm if updating this first line ?

ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:release is good link ?

[severe bolt]

Try setting IMMICH_VERSION to the specific version you want instead of release

[lapis osprey]

good idea, i'm testing with IMMICH_VERSION="v1.109.0"

[lapis osprey]

The idea was good, so I will reset the value to release or rather comment out the variable to default to release, then recreate the project to see if that works.

For those with the same issue, I've documented this update. I'm not convinced it's the best method, but since release doesn't update automatically, manually changing the version works.
