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.
I use a fixed tag. 😂 It’s more a simple way to update. Change the tag in SaltStack, apply config, service is restarted, new tag is pulled. If the tag doesn’t change, the pull is a noop.
Ahh, calmed me down. Never thought of doing anything like you’re doing it here, but I do like it.
