I really want to use Immich but I’ve installed it 3 different times and each time an upgrade completely breaks my installation and I spend hours troubleshooting. And yes, I read the patch notes and do whatever changes they mark in bold red as a warning.
It’s amazing when it works and they’re doing a great job at adding features, but my God does it break if you just look at it wrong.
Going back through my github issues/comments, it was around May 2024 with the v1.105.0 release was my last attempt.
I’m happy to hear it is stable now, I’ll probably give it a shot again here soon. Again, I loved the app and I was hosting it for friends/family to share photos of my kids, so it helped immensely with everyone collaborating with uploads(though mobile uploads for individual photos wasn’t available at that time, had to direct people to use the website…).
To be fair I don’t think I used the docker installation back then, so I’ll probably make a stack for it this time around.

How long ago did you do it?
Now Immich is considered stable, so it shouldn’t have breaking minor updates anymore.
Plus, if you use the docker installation you pretty much don’t have to worry about anything.

With their 2.0 version they announced it as stable release. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/22546
I never used immich before then, but all updates I’ve done since starting (with docker) has worked flawlessly.
I had never used Docker before, but it’s pretty easy. Give it a try again!
Never had it break my setup.
And I have ACLs running on the filesystem on top of it.
In my case, the only thing that ever broke in my home server was homarr lol
