Traefik Timeouts and Immich (Day 21)

I have been setting up Immich, i.e destroying and recreating it until I got my photo organization and volumes just right.

The next step was to do a mass import after testing, the CLI tool makes mass imports pretty straightforward, but I kept having an issue with certain files failing to import especially when trying to import or upload large files (like 2GB).

I would generally get a very generic upload failed

Everything was working fine for regular photos, and my phone syncing without issues.

Did some digging and I found that the issue was to do with Traefik time outs, see the traefik page here

The Fix

So I adjusted the timeouts in the config i.e.:

ports:
  web:
    redirections:
..............
  websecure:
    tls:
      enabled: true
    transport:
      respondingTimeouts:
        readTimeout: 20m
        writeTimeout: 20m    # 20 minutes - adjust based on your needs

And while at it updated traefik to v3.3.3 (helm chart 34.3.0) and changed from redirectTo to redirections (diff):

ports:
  web:
-    redirectTo:
-      port: websecure
+    redirections:
+      entryPoint:
+        to: websecure
+        scheme: https
+        permanent: true

I now got the large file uploads peachy.

PPS: Planning to move the days of homelab to a dedicated page and reduce the amount of logs on the homepage
