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.

    It’s not normal for - model-cache:/cache to be deleted on restart or even upgrade. You shouldn’t need to do this.

      Yes, it depends on how you’re managing the service. If you’re using one of the common patterns via systemd, you may be cleaning up everything, including old volumes, like I do.

      E: Also if you have any sort of lazy prune op running on a timer, it could blow it up at some point.
