I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

tldr: Please add a redirect/rewrite for https://immich.app/guides/* to https://docs.immich.app/guides/*

While looking for info on Remote Machine Learning, I came across the webpage: https://immich.app/guides/remote-machine-learning/.

The new website layout/design has the info I'm looking for here instead: https://docs.immich.app/guides/remote-machine-learning

The main difference being the subdomain docs.immich.app.

The issue:

Instead of a redirect or 404, the webpage instead tries to load the (home page?) of immich.app instead. A catch-all of sorts. Visiting any missing page, https://immich.app/*, such as https://immich.app/asdf shows me the normal, functioning homepage.

However, worse than just showing the homepage it's unstyled.

Side-effect
While mostly innocuous and just slightly annoying, my browser kept attempting to reach missing js files, leading to over 13,600+ requests. I had this page open in the background and could feel my typing slowing as my PC grinds these infinite network requests. It expected js files, but received text/HTML (the plain HTML of the home page) instead. This seems to be a side-effect of the blocking Brave does, as turning it off stopped it.

Suggested fix
While not mission critical, I found this link on Reddit while looking for info, and I'm sure many like this exist. Please add redirects for https://immich.app/guides/* to https://docs.immich.app/guides/*, as just adding docs. seems to work for a few links I found like the above example.

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Reproduction steps

  1. Visit any older https://immich.app/guides/ link such as https://immich.app/guides/remote-machine-learning/, or random string of text after imich.app/*
  2. Be served the homepage instead of expected content, 404 or redirect.

Additional info

While researching further I came across https://immich.app/features/sharing/ as a top result for a Public Sharing Immich Google search. Adding docs. fixes it, of course. https://docs.immich.app/features/sharing/
