You need to increase the linux limit for the number of watchers. In sysctl, change the following value to a suitable number: fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 https://dev.to/shawon/fix-error-enospc-system-limit-for-number-of-file-watchers-reached-pfh |

I encountered the same issue. Even setting fs.inotify.max_user_watches to 1024*1024 does not solve the problem. Do you have any suggestions to deactivate it without access to the UI? |

A short update on how to deactivate it without access to the UI: To update the config to disable automatic library watching one can use However the neccessity to update any config value by this should be very rare. Don't do this unless you are really sure that this is the only way and is a sane decision. |

Please file a feature request for disabling watching via external means, I'll try to create that |

To be honest I would rather file a request to delete the option until it does not bear the possibility to render the UI unresponsive anymore. On the other hand the word "EXPERIMENTAL" is clearly stated! And the fix was pretty straight forward. But for me it does not feel clean to implement a new "feature" that is only needed to react to a bug from another feature, which is clearly stated as experimental. |

in immich 1.116.0 - I had to use this.. # First select and get the value.
select * from system_metadata where key = 'system-config';
# now update .. but copy your system-config value from above.
BEGIN;
update system_metadata
set value= '{"job": {"smartSearch": {"concurrency": 1}, "faceDetection": {"concurrency": 4}}, "library": {"watch": {"enabled": false}}, "metadata": {"faces": {"import": true}}}'
where key = 'system-config';
# verify
select * from system_metadata where key = 'system-config';
COMMIT;

Hi, I updated today and I can no longer access the interface. [Nest] 7 - 10/15/2024, 8:09:27 PM ERROR [Microservices:LibraryService] Library watcher for library 463fc65b-c378-4407-a6ae-7decd6dfb58f encountered error: Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached, watch '/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-9bda9ca2-0860-45b2-92f7-bec289ccb9aa/Seagate4T/Poze/Dropbox/PC Diverse/Promotiematerialen en templates/Styleguide EU/Product Images/New Packaging/Groups/Skin Recovery/Rosacea_WithoutLotion.png' Can someone guide through solving this? I am a complete noob. I do not even know where to run the code given above. I am using portainer on an OMV server. Do I use putty for the above script or what? I tried running it in the container console but it did not work. Thank you PS "In rare cases, the library watcher can hang, preventing Immich from starting up. In this case, disable the library watcher in the configuration file. If the watcher is enabled from within Immich, the app must be started without the microservices. Disable the microservices in the docker compose file, start Immich, disable the library watcher in the admin settings, close Immich, re-enable the microservices, and then Immich can be started normally." there is no microservices in the compose file (anymore?) |

@Qrrbrbirlbel in the administration docs it's explained how to split microservice and server in different containers in docker compose |

A short update on how to deactivate it without access to the UI:
If the config file is not in use, the config is stored in the postgres database.
Check here on how to query it.
To update the config to disable automatic library watching one can use
UPDATE system_config SET value = false WHERE key = 'library.watch.enabled';However the neccessity to update any config value by this should be very rare. Don't do this unless you are really sure that this is the only way and is a sane decision.
