Hi @DominikJasiok, I also maintain immich-cli as a separate package but haven't updated it since the CLI was brought into the main repository at v1.88.0. I'll look at either updating the separate package or bringing it into this one (as a split package). I'm keen to cater for the use-case where someone just wants to install the CLI without the server, i.e. to bulk upload photos from a desktop/laptop to a separate server.
I'll have a look at this after I've updated the package to the latest version v1.90.x released in the last 24hrs.

Upstream recommends using docker, for which they have pre-built images (that might also work with podman).

PostgreSQL 18 is coming to the Arch repos. Before upgrading, backup the files for vectorchord and pgvector somewhere, and then follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PostgreSQL#Upgrading_PostgreSQL instructions. (In the next release, I'll also update the postinstall message to recommend changing postgresql.conf instead of doing ALTER SYSTEM SET.)
Also, you may find yourself updating VectorChord in this process. When doing so, remember to follow the migration steps at https://docs.immich.app/administration/postgres-standalone/#updating-vectorchord .

immich-web (localhost/immich-server:2283) used to be broken for some users of this package.
As @yparitcher also noticed, this was most likely caused by the following additions to .gitignore from f4e0aad2c495, which have since be reverted:
The reason—for both this change sometimes and unpredictably breaking the build, and builds under a clean chroot still working—is unknown. I meant to investigate this on 2025-08-19 while updating the package but called it a day due to the unpredictability and long time of building. Help with figuring out why this happened would be greatly appreciated.

You may notice pacman refuse to upgrade this package, saying warning: cannot resolve "vectorchord", a dependency of "immich-server".
This is due to required manual intervention within the immich server database.
Newer versions of immich server have deprecated pgvecto.rs in favor of vectorchord.
Before updating from
1.133.1or older, please follow steps 1 and 2 of the manual migration steps (should be the second dropdown) at https://immich.app/docs/administration/postgres-standalone/#migrating-to-vectorchord and uninstall pgvecto.rs.Remember to remove references to "vectors.so" (which is shipped by pgvecto.rs) in shared_preload_libraries before pgvecto.rs in uninstalled. (For vectorchord to work, you'll need to add "vchord.so" to shared_preload_libraries after the upgrade as well.)
After that, you may upgrade this package. Please remember to follow steps 4 and 5 of the manual migration steps after the upgrade is finished to prevent data loss.
