Upgrade documentation
Hi all, new user. Got immich all set up and running well for a few weeks. An upgrade became available and I want to stay current (Truenas Scale 22.12.2 immich upgrade from 1.49.0_5.0.16 to 1.55.1_7.0.1). In-place upgrade was not allowed so I changed the port of the original installation and did a fresh installation pointing to the same 'upgrade' data folder plus adding the new supported folders (App Library, Thumbnail, Profiles and Video) using the Truecharts form. The original immich app is shut down.
That worked fine however the installation created a new subfolder in uploads. I'm looking for upgrade documentation - and yes I have looked (and looked) for it. In the app I can't see the pictures already uploaded.
I suspect I MAY be able to copy the subdirectories of the original uploads file, or NOT? I am not too concerned at this point because I have all the source pictures and can re-upload them (I already did this as a test of around 100 pics) but I suspect there is an documented upgrade transfer/upgrade process to follow.
Thanks in advance

Perfect! That was quick and thanks. I see the migration notes, and will try them out.
There is data in the postgres database and there are physical files on disk. If you change or rebuild the environment that should be ok as long as you still are using the same database data and the uploads are in the same place
If you don't see any pictures in the web, something is probably wrong unrelated to upgrading
I only see the storage template migration, not the "storage migration job" referred to in the docs. I'm looking at the administrator web page - jobs section.
That's the one
Ok, I only see 1 directory now after that. Instructions are to generate thumbnail job then delete the <uuid>/thumbs but my directory is called thumb
Instructions seem a little backward - Run generate thumbnail job (then delete .../thumbs)
I'll shut down and restart immich
oh yes, forgot it's in a new folder
I'm only seeing the pictures I manually uploaded after the upgrade - not the original upload (2 + years of photos)
To be clear, the photos were migrated, but thumbs are not immediately seen. App is restarting and I suspect it may just take awhile for the thumbnails to be regenerated.
Have to head out for granddaughter's dance... thx
You will have to rerun a few jobs, including thumbnail generation. I believe we have that in the guide anovr
You're using the truecharts version right? They did something recently where databases couldn't be upgraded or something like that. If you got caught by that you'll probably have lost your Immich database and you'd need to reupload everything
