Jobs
The immich-server responds to API requests for data and files for the web and mobile app. To do this quickly and reliably, it offloads most other work to immich-microservices in the form of jobs. Simply put, a job is a request to process data in the background. Jobs are picked up automatically by microservices containers.
When a new asset is uploaded it kicks off a series of jobs, which include metadata extraction, thumbnail generation, machine learning tasks, and storage template migration, if enabled. To view the status of a job navigate to the Administration -> Jobs page.
Additionally, some jobs run on a schedule, which is every night at midnight. This schedule, with the exception of External Libraries scanning, cannot be changed.
Storage Migration job can be run after changing the Storage Template, in order to apply the change to the existing library.
