Your ML model cache volume is getting blown up during restart and the model is being re-downloaded during the first search post-restart. Either set it to a path somewhere on your storage, or ensure you’re not blowing up the dynamic volume upon restart.

In my case I changed this:

  immich-machine-learning:
    ...
    volumes:
      - model-cache:/cache

To that:

  immich-machine-learning:
    ...
    volumes:
      - ./cache:/cache

I no longer have to wait uncomfortably long when I’m trying to show off Smart Search to a friend, or just need a meme pronto.

That’ll be all.

    Its convenient because your data is stored in the same folder that your docker-compose.yaml file is in, making backups or migrations simpler.

      Yup. Everything is in one place and there’s no hardcoded paths outside of the work dir making it trivial to move across storage or even machines.
