Updates redis and postgres images to the ones recommended by immich in their docker-compose.
Add DB_STORAGE_TYPE env var which determines a postgres setting as documented in the immich env var docs.

NOTE: the upgrade from the current postgres to the new one is a major/breaking change, not sure if there's anything else we'd need to do/document here.

Updates redis and postgres images to the ones recommended by immich in their [docker-compose](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml).

would be great to get an idea of how to migrate in the release notes, yes ;)

hey this looks great! thanks for your work! I've added some questionss. Regarding the postgres upgrade I'd agree @val , I think there must be some examples in other recipes where this was done before, but I couldn't find one right away.

I looked more into it and I am unsure about whether this is a major/breaking change or not. It seems the old docker image uses pgvecto.rs v0.2.0, while the new one uses the same pgvecto.rs version, but also includes VectorChord which is a newer more high performance vector db library. I'd assume it's backwards compatible but a) I'd have to check and b) maybe it is desirable to migrate to VectorChord (whatever that means).

I'll do a bit more digging and testing and I'll get back to y'all soon.

Actually, it seems immich handles the migration for you, and the pgvecto.rs library is included just to handle the migration: https://docs.immich.app/install/upgrading/#migrating-to-vectorchord

Cool, thanks @hermzz could you already try it on a running instance? Will try mine, as soon as I find time ans I can verify my backups work.

As there is an new version of immich, I was wondering if you @hermzz, @yksflip or @philippr would like to co-maintain the recipe?

As I like immich a lot, I could imagine to join a team of maintainers: https://docs.coopcloud.tech/maintainers/maintain/

(Better I open up an issue for this I guess)

I created an immich instance with the current db (tensorchord/pgvecto-rs:pg14-v0.2.0), added 939 photos to a library, shutdown, changed the db to the new one (ghcr.io/immich-app/postgres:14-vectorchord0.4.3-pgvectors0.2.0@sha256:bcf63357191b76a916ae5eb93464d65c07511da41e3bf7a8416db519b40b1c23) and restarted. This showed up in the app logs:

After adding backups, I changed it as well to the other images and can confirm, that it works perfectly :)
As I added backup-functionality and at the same time updated the version succesfully to the most recent I would suggest that I post another pull request which you could review?
