Immich update - wrong python version for onnxruntime

[Maxzhao1999]

I'm having some issues updating the latest immich (who knew) but I think the issue is on my part. I may have accidentally updated my python so now when the script gets to the immich_ml section and tries to update onnxruntime-openvino, I'm guessing it's seeing the python 3.13.5 rather than the 3.11 which pypi has package for.

How can I tell it to use the right python? (python3.11)

Using CPython 3.13.5 interpreter at: /usr/bin/python3
Creating virtual environment at: /opt/immich/app/machine-learning/ml-venv
Activate with: source /opt/immich/app/machine-learning/ml-venv/bin/activate
  ⏳   Updating HW-accelerated machine-learningerror: Distribution `onnxruntime-openvino==1.18.0 @ registry+https://pypi.org/simple` can't be installed because it doesn't have a source distribution or wheel for the current platform

hint: You're using CPython 3.13 (`cp313`), but `onnxruntime-openvino` (v1.18.0) only has wheels with the following Python ABI tags: `cp310`, `cp311`

@vhsdream I know you're most familiar with how the immich script works, wondering if you could help me diagnose the issue?

Hmmm, ok - make you have a backup of your LXC and then proceed.

1. For ease of use, let's ensure uv is in your PATH. Open ~/.bashrc in an editor and you'll probably see something about uv near the bottom. Change the export PATH line to export PATH="/root/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH", save and close, log out and then back in.
2. Then, source the virtual-environment: source /opt/immich/app/machine-learning/ml-venv/bin/activate
3. Then, pin the python version to 3.11 - uv python pin 3.11

That should do it (but not 100% sure as I don't have other python versions installed). Restart the LXC and cross your fingers and toes!
