Breaking Change in v1.137: Upgrade Required for Older Versions
Immich v1.137.0 introduces a breaking change affecting users on versions older than v1.132.0 (released May 9, 2025). If you have automatic updates enabled (default), no action is required. However, the few users running older versions must manually upgrade to an intermediate version first.
Required Action
If running a version older than v1.132.0:
- Upgrade to v1.136.0 first:
- Allow Immich to start successfully
- Then upgrade to v1.137+ normally
Check your version: snap list immich-distribution
Why This Change?
Immich removed TypeORM (#20366) requiring database schema upgrades that must be completed on versions v1.132.0-v1.136.0 before upgrading to v1.137+.
