The bug

Attempting to generate thumbnails for any images causes the Immich server to crash, with no error messages logged. The thumbnail does not get generated. This happens whether running the thumbnails job, or regenerating the thumbnail for a specific image.

This issue was not present in v1.138.1, but I have experienced it in v1.139 (can't remember the patch version) and above.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64

Version of Immich Server

v1.140.1

Version of Immich Mobile App

N/A

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
