# Bulk Upload (Using the CLI)
You can use the CLI to upload an existing gallery to the Immich server
[Immich CLI Repository](https://github.com/immich-app/CLI)
## Requirements
- Node.js 16 or above
- Npm
## Installation

npm i -g immich
```
## Quick Start
Specify user's credentials, Immich's server address and port, and the directory you would like to upload videos/photos from.
```bash

### Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| --yes / -y | Assume yes on all interactive prompts |
| --delete / -da | Delete local assets after upload |
| --email / -e | User's email |

| --threads / -t | Number of threads to use (Default 5) |

### Run via Docker
Be aware that as this runs inside a container it mounts your current directory as a volume, and for the -d flag you need to use the path inside the container.
```bash
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/import ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-cli:latest upload --email testuser@email.com --password password --server http://192.168.1.216:2283/api -d /import
```
Optionally, you can create an alias:
```bash
alias immich="docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/import ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-cli:latest"
immich upload --email testuser@email.com --password password --server http://192.168.1.216:2283/api -d /import
```
