Initially imported photos still in /photos, while new uploads go to /photos/library/admin ?
Hi all! I have an issue and I'm not sure whether it's a bug or just user error. I initially imported my existing library to a
/mnt/user/photos
directory (path shortened in title for succinctness). Everything show up fine. However, new uploads from the Immich app are in /mnt/user/photos/library/admin
, even after running the Storage Template Migration job, which does nothing. It's my understanding that all photos should be moved to /mnt/user/photos/library/admin
when running the job, even the initial import. Did I miss something? Thanks 🙏6 Replies
I'm running server v1.76.1, by the way.

If you did an existing directory import, the files are internally marked as such and will not be moved by the storage template
Only files uploaded via the API will
Okay thank you, that makes more sense!
In that case I guess I might be able to clear that flag with some SQL magic and re-run the migration? Or just delete everything and re-import correctly which sounds less fun
Yes, some SQL editing should work. IIRC it's the
readOnly
column in the asset
tableI'll try that, thank you so much :)
For posterity - an UPDATE statement did the trick. Thanks again!
