Migrating all settings from all-in-one docker container to docker-compose
After some connection issues with database I decided to move to docker-compose, but I need to move all my settings to it, so what is the container path and which container should I add the volume (there is at least 4 different containers now)?
The screenshot below show the current path
I'm using the official docker-compose and that all-in-one is ghcr.io/imagegenius/immich:latest

these are the files inside the /immich folder
Hi, one of the AIO image maintainer here. You don’t have to keep the folders in your appdata. All data in it are re-synced, downloaded on immich startup.
Thanks, but if it's not necessary, why immich doesn't pick the settings and all files? given that the UPLOAD_LOCATION is set to the same folder as that AIO image?
I did try exporting that .json and then adding on .env the location of it "IMMICH_CONFIG_FILE=/mnt/disk1/appdata/immich/" but then Immich wouldn't work, with " 500 connect ECONNREFUSED 172.23.0.7:3001" error message when accessing the UI
The upload location is different for the AIO image
We use the IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION env to precise the media location (it’s set to /photos) so we don’t have to use symlinks
Furthermore, you have to update all your assets path in the db
You can take a look at the migration script we used months ago here https://github.com/imagegenius/docker-immich/blob/main/root/defaults/migrate.py

IMO, the best way to migrate would be to create a new immich instance with the docker-compose and import your assets using the CLI or the new library feature
