upgrading problem

[DrAdrianJones]

Hi There,

Firstly, thank you for a great how to, it works flawlessly on Proxmox host.

My problem is upgrading the server. After stopping the server, I have:

1. logged in as immich user
2. edited the install.env and altered the REPO_TAG to REPO_TAG=v1.125.7
3. run the install.sh as immich user

but it just reinstalls the original version v1.123.0

What am I missing?

You need to update the REPO_TAG in both the "install.env" and the ".env" files.

Where is the .env file?

Ignore that, found it.

It might be worth having a little script to check the latest version and update those 2 file automatically?

produced this script to automatically update the 2 files with the latest version number (with a little help form chatGTP)
`#!/bin/sh

Set your GitHub username and repo name

repo="immich-app/immich"

Get the list of tags from the repository (sorted by creation date)

tags=$(curl --silent -m 10 --connect-timeout 5 "https://api.github.com/repos/$repo/tags")

Check if the curl request was successful

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Error: Failed to fetch tag information from GitHub."
exit 1
fi

Check if tags are empty or if no tags are found

if [ -z "$tags" ] || [ "$(echo "$tags" | jq '. | length')" -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Error: No tags found in the repository $repo."
exit 1
fi

Extract the latest tag (first tag in the list)

tag=$(echo "$tags" | jq -r '.[0].name')

Check if jq failed to extract the tag

if [ -z "$tag" ]; then
echo "Error: Could not extract tag_name from the response."
echo "Response was: $tags" # Show the raw response
exit 1
fi

Print current content of .env and install.env before updating (for debugging)

echo "Current content of install.env:"
cat install.env
echo "Current content of .env:"
cat .env

Update the install.env file with the latest tag

sed -i -E "s/REPO_TAG=.*/REPO_TAG=$tag/" install.env

Update the .env file with the latest tag (same as above)

If REPO_TAG is empty or missing, it will be updated or added

sed -i -E "/REPO_TAG=/c\REPO_TAG=$tag" .env

Check if the sed command was successful for both files

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Both install.env and .env updated successfully with tag: $tag"
else
echo "Error: Failed to update install.env or .env"
exit 1
fi

Print updated content of install.env and .env (for debugging)

echo "Updated content of install.env:"
cat install.env
echo "Updated content of .env:"
cat .env

Where is the .env file?

https://github.com/loeeeee/immich-in-lxc?tab=readme-ov-file#update-the-immich-instance

.env in the folder immich-in-lxc, try ls -a -l

.env file based on the one in install.env, it is not necessary to modify install.env
