Immich-go upload failing after small percentage of files uploaded
Issue: Running immich-go to upload google takeout zip files to immich server. After running immich go, the initial scan goes fine, but the upload fails after a small percentage of the files are uploaded.
Troubleshooting I've tried: I've tried running Immich-go multiple times. Originally, the zip files were hosted on an NFS share (137k files). I originally tried running Immich go on a windows host and reaching out to the immich server running on a Linux VM (about 600~ files successfully uploaded before the upload quit prematurely). I have tried running immich-go on the Linux VM. Running Immich-go on the same host as immich server, running immich-go with sudo, and moving one of the zip files to the local host to run it (3500 files with only about 60-100 files uploaded successfully before failure). I've also tried manually pausing all immich jobs, reducing concurrency to 1 for every job to reduce load, increasing the client timeout to 400 ms, and giving the API key access to all options. The API key was created by the immich admin, which is the only user on the server. All attempts seem to generate the same error.

This due to a chive in the immich API.

This on the top of my todo list. But I don't have to much time before the weekend.

Perfect. I'm happy to wait as long as needed since this is a free resource you support. Just happy to know it's a noted issue that is on the roadmap to be fixed.
Hi!
I am encountering the same error while uploading files:

I have tried both versions v0.28.0 and v0.29.0, but the issue persists. Immich [v2.2.0]
Could you try the latest release?
Worked great @simulot I did a smaller batch and not a single error this time.
@p166 try using this variant to see how many errors you have by the end. sudo immich-go upload from-google-photos --server=http://127.0.0.1:2283 --api-key={API KEY} --client-timeout=400m --pause-immich-jobs=TRUE --on-server-errors=continue /[your media folers]/takeout-*.zip
