I just moved from v2 immich to v3. Literally changed the version in my env file and then deleted all docker images. I then pulled all images and brought all containers online. 0 issues. Immich has been running really well for us on my n100 for 10 months now. I did dual Google photos and immich for a 3 months and then exported out from gphotos. I started 2026 with immich only. Been rock solid the entire time. Of course that’s all anecdotal and ymmv. But immich is fantastic

Good to know. it’s very tempting. It has every feature we need, and it integrates to every other relevant app I selfhost. Do you keep a backup? How do you do it?

Pretty much the exact same experience here. I just removed my wife’s photo storage from Google completely as of this month 🎉. Don’t even need the security blanket anymore. Immich is it. I had a mini panic when moving from v2 to v3 was not automatic today, but it was a 15 minute fix, that was mostly just reading the step-by-step instructions for the update. Copy-pasted a handful of lines and we’re off!

Yea I changed over to v3 without issue recently too, I read the release notes and some of the issue conversations on github, so I knew what to expect. That’s something a lot of people dont do, if you are self hosting an open source project it’s on you to stay on top of those things, stay updated as much as possible but dont do major jumps blindly without backups. In my case, I went from a regular immich in a container to one with openVino built in for gpu accelerated image analysis and face detection, and I had to change my database container image. Then it fired straight up and everything seems to work 100% so far.
