0.23RC6 can't find /tmp/xxxx files when importing Google Photos archive

[Ricostyle21]

When trying to import a multiple zip-archive Google Photos takeout, it analyses everything correctly but after uploading 2-4 files I get the following error:

2025-01-07 14:14:30 ERR upload error file=takeout-20241207T121721Z-006:Takeout/Google Photos/1 year ago/20220203_141055.jpg error=open /tmp/immich-go_2712421070: no such file or directory
2025-01-07 14:14:30 ERR upload error file=takeout-20241207T121721Z-006:Takeout/Google Photos/1 year ago/20220203_141055.MP4 error=open /tmp/immich-go_2026722806: no such file or directory

I suspect it may be due to not enough space in the /tmp/ folder? I'm running Unraid so I think it just can't write to the /tmp/ folder or something. It may be something else entirely, I'm not sure. Is it possible to specify a folder to use instead of the /tmp/ folder?

Good guess. The write in the the /tmp folder should raise an error, or the temp files aren't created as expected. I'll check the code.

You can set the environment variable $TMPDIR to change where immich-go stores its files. Tell me if this helps.

This still doesn't work unfortunately, setting the $TMPDIR to a directory alongside the executable still gives the following result:

2025-01-07 17:42:56 ERR upload error file=takeout-20241207T121721Z-006:Takeout/Google Photos/1 year ago/20220203_181930.jpg error=open /mnt/user/│

Same is happenning to me, default osx tmp dir, as well as a custom (and access allowed) tmp dir.

On rc6

Is it possible to share a log file.
You can drop it on my discord account @simulot

I am getting same error on a mac machine. Was there any solution to it ? Default or custom TMPDIR folder do not work.

[Dunky13]

In the end I had to revert to 0.22.1, set a custom tmpdir as well as manually setting timezone and client timeout. Then it worked

[simulot]

There isn't an option to force the temp dir in 0.22.1. Maybe setting the TMPDIR variable works better there?

[Dunky13]

I ran it as:

TMPDIR=/home/user/takeouttmp ./immich-go -time-zone Europe/Amsterdam -client-timeout 1m0s -key redacted -server iphere -google-photos <takeout dit>/takeout*.zip on 0.22.1

Hi @Dunky13, @Ricostyle21 I'm working on a fix for this error.
I can't reproduce the case neither by removing the write permission or by limiting the space. Immich-go fails with a descriptive error:

Error: write /mnt/virtual_disk/tmp/immich-go_442673480: no space left on device

Could you give more details?

• running environment: VM? Container? directly on a workstation / nas host?
• the exact command line
• rights of the /tmp folder

Thank you for your help

[Ricostyle21]

Sure! Thanks for working on it!
The running environment is via ssh on a UNRAID (linux) NAS, the executable is just copied from the github releases page.
The exact command is this:
./immich-go --server=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:2283 --api-key=somethingyouwouldliketoknowbutcant upload from-google-photos --manage-burst=Stack --manage-raw-jpeg=StackCoverJPG /mnt/user/Downloads/takeout-*.zip
The /tmp folder is owned by root, but the command itself is also executed by the root user (this is how unraid does it's ssh thingies, it's a bit weird).
Let me know if you need more, like logs etc.

[simulot]

A log file may help

[Ricostyle21]

I sent you logs on discord, and the error is still happening on RC7.
