I would like to know how often your extra sync service is syncing.
The service watches for changes, so it should trigger immediately. It's using Inotify and it's a Linux kernel feature.
There is also a extra daily full scan that I execute once a day (at startup, and once every 24 hours). I wrote this as an extra check to make sure that everything in imported.
I got an error when it try to upload the syncthing .txt file generated by syncthing on windows /.../
The error message was Immich API complaining that it can't import the txt-file. This should not stop the sync-service. The sync service assumes that everything are images and videos ready to be imported to Immich.
I mounted windows folder to my vmware immish snap
I have no idea how vmware mounts works, but I'm a little worried that they do not support Inotify. If changes do not trigger immediately, that's probably why.
.stfolder
Looks like you have file versioning turned on, that could be a little confusing for the sync service because they may be multiple versions of the same file, even if they are removed. I have turned this of myself for this reason.
Thank you very for all the explantation, I have to check about Inotify and vmware mount.
Do you think it will work if I use samba share from windows, mounted on linux instead ?
What are the difference between using syncthing using your sync service and syncthinf to mounted folder as external library ? As I understand using your sync service change report immediately, that is not hte case with external library. But delete seems to work the same if we mount them as read/write (without :ro) right ?

Probably not, file changes are rarely sent over network mounts due performance. A share in the other direction should work.

My sync service predates Immich native External Library feature, so I mainly built it to have a two way sync between Immich and my synching folder (synced with my phone). Immich External Library has since then implemented most of these features.
As I understand using your sync service change report immediately, that is not hte case with external library.
I haven't checked recently but I think they scan the external library on a schedule. This has the advantage that it works with most filesystems/mounts, but has the disadvantage of being slow.

That's my understanding.
Try External Library, if that works for you, that's probably the easiest and most well supported solution because it's actively developed by the Immich team directly.
Question
Hello,
First, thank you very much for this great job !
I would like to know how often your extra sync service is syncing.
I got an error when it try to upload the syncthing .txt file generated by syncthing on windows (I mounted windows folder to my vmware immish snap)
Oct 25 16:52:03 immich immich-distribution.sync-service[6836]: Failed to upload asset /var/snap/immich-distribution/common/sync/b611ff47-31f0-4e7c-8ffc-f92f42829e2d/S23U/.stfolder/syncthing-folder-588315.txt, status code 400. Response: {"message":"Unsupported file type syncthing-folder-588315.txt","error":"Bad Request","statusCode":400,"correlationId":"gqe8f2ei"}
Does it stop the service ?
Thank you for your time :)
