Immich can't see existing Immich library?
Hello,
I have migrated from an Ubuntu Desktop OS to a containerized Proxmox solution. As a result I moved Immich into it's own Ubuntu 22.04 container and started it up. It has the exact same pathing and .env file, as well as the same mounted folder where the images were kept. However, starting the service up had me create a user as new and sees no photos. I've tried Uploading and Importing (Can't quite disern the difference) when in the directory and still can't find anything.
Happy to provide an additional info that's needed. Thanks!

Did you move the database as well?
I'm beginning to think I did not...
Is that stored in a Docker volume? And not he config folder?
indeed
Okay, so I likely lost the database. Is there any hope for reuploading the photos since they're already in the corect directory structure of Immich?
You'll need to do a regular upload via the CLI
Is it okay if I do an upload from that folder, with it still being the intended upload destination?
It'd be cleaner not to, you'd risk duplicate files in the folders etc
I assume I should just do the library folder? Otherwise it'll think thumbs is just a tiny photo?
Correct
Okay, fair enough. Luckikly this isn't the permanent storage solution for these photos, just a way to access them remotely
IGNORE ME: It was just taking it's time indexing.
So that database did more over?
No, now I'm getting weird networking errors while I Try to import. I caught "synophoto" in the massive wall of text that was spitting out so I suspect it's something to do with my synology trying to generate thumbnails
