The bug

Hi there,

I had switched to maintenance mode before upgrading to 2.5.0. After the upgrade immich-server tried to get up, but crashes with an error related to the maintenance mode. Unfortunately, I cannot find this error anymore in the logs 🤦🏽 .

I just ran docker exec -it immich_server immich-admin disable-maintenance-mode while the server was briefly up and running and was able to workaround this issue.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Debian

Version of Immich Server

v2.5.0

Version of Immich Mobile App

2.4.1

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Device make and model

No response
