Unable to upload files located on another server

Hi!
I have an immich server on my QNAP NAS server, and my Google Photos Takeout .zip files. I'm attempting to upload via:

./immich-go -server=http://192.168.xx.xxx:2283 -key=xxx upload -create-albums -google-photos -date=2019-06  -skip-verify-ssl -dry-run root@http://192.168.xx.xxx:8080/my/path/to/files/*.zip

Terminal errors with no such file or directory.

I've confirmed the path is correct by getting valid results via

ssh root@http://192.168.xx.xxx:8080 'ls /my/path/to/files/*.zip'

Any chance there's a simple fix to my problem?

Thx so much in advance!

... -dry-run root@http://192.168.xx.xxx:8080/my/path/to/files/*.zip

root@http://192.168.xx.xxx:8080/my/path/to/files/*.zip isn't a valid path to files.

You have several options:

  1. install and run immich-go directly the QNAP, files are directly accessible
  2. Copy the zips on your local machine and run immich-go here
  3. Place your zip files in a QNAP share, and mount it on your system, then the files are accessible via the file sharing service

The option 3 is the less effective solution. File are downloaded to be handled by Immich-go and uploaded to the server. Avoid a wifi connection for this.

@simulot
Thanks for the in depth reply.

Ideally I would do option #1 but I'm unable to even install go lang on the QNAP device. Do you happen to have any advice for this?
Upon moving the package to /usr/local/ the QNAP device reports there is no memory left!

EDIT: I suppose one way to do this is to create a docker container, and install go and run immich-go in there? I've got minimal understanding of docker but wondering if you think this makes sense.

It's simpler than you think.
Executable file for your system is available in the released files.

Grab the one that fits with your system and place it somewhere on the qnap.

Doing so, your photos are on an accessible path.

@simulot Thanks -

Is there a way to understand which files were unsupported or discarded?

I didn't have go-lang installed on the QNAP machine and so I had to do it through a container 😅

Got it running but am stuck here:

root@edd030b24c3c:/app/immich-go# ./immich-go -server=http://192.xxx50.205:2283 -key=xxxx upload -dry-run -create-albums -google-photos  /app/Public/GOOGLE_TAKEOUT

It just hangs here....

EDIT:

Got

ERROR | unexpected response to the immich's ping API at this address: http://192.xxx.50.205:2283/api/server-info/ping:

EDIT:

Ah it was because I needed to adjust my ContainerStation's network settings!

Glad you solved either the binary install and network issues.

There are too many files without sidecar for a google photos take out. I guess you missed one file while downloading the takeout.
This will lead to a lot of files not uploaded.

Discarded files are files that immich-go rejects. It could be failed videos.
Unsupported files are files that are not photos or movie, or some JSON files not related to photos
Check the log files for the exact reason
