The bug

Summary

Despite LibRaw 0.22.0 being installed in the base-images (PR #304), libvips is not linked to libraw, meaning RAW file processing still fails for Canon R5 Mark II CR3 files. The pink/magenta color cast issue persists.

Environment

  • Immich version: v2.5.2
  • Image created: 2026-01-29T20:54:39 (after PR #304 merge on Jan 26)
  • Camera: Canon EOS R5 Mark II
  • File format: CR3 (C-RAW)

Evidence

LibRaw 0.22.0 IS installed correctly

$ docker exec immich_server cat /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libraw.pc

Name: libraw
Description: Raw image decoder library (non-thread-safe)
Requires: lcms2
Version: 0.22.0-Devel202502
Libs: -L${libdir} -lraw -lstdc++ -fopenmp

But libvips is NOT linked to libraw

$ docker exec immich_server sh -c "ldd /usr/local/lib/libvips.so.42 | grep -i raw"
# (empty output - no libraw dependency)

Full libvips dependencies show no libraw:

$ docker exec immich_server sh -c "ldd /usr/local/lib/libvips.so.42"
linux-vdso.so.1
libglib-2.0.so.0
libgio-2.0.so.0
libgobject-2.0.so.0
libgmodule-2.0.so.0
libexpat.so.1
libz.so.1
libexif.so.12
libjpeg.so.62
libspng.so.0
libwebp.so.7
...
# libraw is MISSING from this list

Symptoms

  • Canon R5 Mark II CR3 files display with pink/magenta color overlay
  • Thumbnails and full-size previews both affected
  • "Prefer embedded preview" setting (enabled or disabled) has no effect
  • Regenerating thumbnails does not fix the issue
  • Server logs show VipsJpeg decode errors when attempting to extract embedded previews:
ERROR [Microservices] Unable to run job handler (AssetGenerateThumbnails): 
Error: VipsJpeg: ./lib/jpegli/decode_scan.cc:539: Failed to decode DCT block

Root Cause

PR #304 added LibRaw 0.22.0 to the base-images, but libvips was not recompiled/rebuilt to link against libraw.

For libvips to use LibRaw for RAW processing, it must be compiled with --with-libraw or detect libraw during its ./configure step. Currently, libvips in the container cannot access LibRaw at all.

Expected Fix

Rebuild libvips AFTER installing LibRaw 0.22.0, ensuring libvips is configured to use libraw. The build order should be:

  1. Install LibRaw 0.22.0
  2. Rebuild libvips with libraw support (./configure should detect it, or use --with-libraw)
  3. Verify with ldd /usr/local/lib/libvips.so.42 | grep raw showing libraw.so
