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.
Search speed was never an issue before, and neither was quality. My biggest gripe is not being able to sort search by date! If I had that, it would be perfect.
But I’ll update you once it’s done (at 97,000 to go… )
