Hi 🙂

I am trying to use immich CLI (npm), and the --recursive part won't work. When I upload a single file, it all works fine, but i have thousands of files and don't want to manually upload each one.

Anyway, i have no idea why it won't work with --recursive. This is the command I'm running:

immich upload -a -c 5 --recursive "/media/drive/files/Camera Uploads (Old)/

I have checked the perms, and they are correct AFAICT. But like i said, it works with a single file. I am running immich as the same user that is uploading.

I have also tried just immich upload --recursive "media/drive/files/Camera Uploads (Old)" and that doesn't work either. it seems to be a problem with --recursive

I am on ubuntu 24.04 running headless. npm version is 10.8.2 and node version is v20.20.2

Anyone got any idea? The title is the problem.

TIA 🙂

docker-compose.yml

#

had to split the docker-compose as I don't have nitro and it was too long

#

anyway, if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful very much 🙂

#

I just tried some other versions of node/npm, and same thing. tried the latest version just now, same thing

#

FWIW, I'm not set on immich/cli. if there's another way to upload them, I will use that. i only need it once
