Files lost
Somehow I have stuffed my setup. Everything was working fine, I upload some files to the wrong directory I think, using bulk upload, witha different api key. The files are still on my ubuntu system the directory structure is immich-app/data/library/admin/the dates etc, see image attached. How do I fix this. How fo I use the "Storage Migration Job? What should be in storage label in admin? Please help

I think I had to reset login at some stage it asked for new password etc.
am i better to re import? somehow
I see I have three directories under thumbs, is this supposed to be my user id?
Yes, the three folders are for each account
Is the issue that the gallery looks empty?
yes
i only have one account, but I was asked to register twice in the last few days
whicj i did with the sameemail address
Those would be different accounts so the images wouldn't be associated with them
Do you see "Administration" in the top right?
yes
If you click that and look at the server stats, that will tell you which account the images are associated with
You might also need to look at the Users tab to see the email addresses
It shouldn't be possible to create multiple accounts with the same email
looks like it has, the ID is different from all the ones listed under thumbs.
the folder names under thumbs aren't important, they're just hashes
you can try logging in as one of the other users in the users tab based on the email address
thanks, I only regisered the one email, so I dont know.
so in the users tab, all of the accounts have the same email address?
there is only one account
oh, then i guess your pgdata volume got deleted since there are three accounts in the thumbs folder but only one in the database.
did you run any command that cleans docker, like
docker prune etc.?no i have not done that
can you run this command? it will show the dates when your docker volumes were created. the one you're looking for is
docker_pgdata
docker volume ls --format '{{ .Name }}' | xargs -n1 docker volume inspect | jq -r '.[0]|[.Name, .CreatedAt]|@tsv' | sort -k2immich-app_pgdata 2023-08-25T13:19:52+10:00

that means the current database was created at Aug 25, 2023, 3:19:52 AM (UTC). does that sound right? or is it supposed to be earlier than that?
no was much earlier than that a few weeks ago. Maybe I just rebuild, is there a way to import the existing files. and rebuild the info
i think you can make a read-only gallery with those assets without uploading them https://immich.app/docs/features/read-only-gallery
i will try that thanks for your time
np! once you're set up again, i recommend backing up your database. it will save you from needing to re-import if anything happens to it again. https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore

I will. I had not got round to it, when it went wrong
