how to move immich to different folder?
I am using windows 11. Recently I added a new hard drive to my PC and am planning to move both
db and upload folder to new disk. After some research here is what I have done:
1. docker-compose down the original app.
2. copied two folder to new drive:
3. updated the .env file with
4. run docker-compose up -d
However, it seems it started a new empty immich, but not overwriting the new upload and db folder under D. I am wondering which step I am missing? any help appreciated 🙂9 Replies

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:I just tried and it worked, but you need to run
docker compose up --remove-orphans -dI think the problem is looks like and it dont have correct permission to folder in D drive.
You cannot use NTFS for Postgres
wow never thought about that, In this case, I will try to host the db in C
Actually even I mount the db folder in C drive, it is having a similar issue in
immich-server I think the problem still is dont have permissing to create file in D drive
Not sure how to set the permission1) the C drive is still NTFS
2) this error is different, you have changed your UPLOAD_LOCATION and now you are missing files from that first location
1. I can start the immich app in C drive . So I think NTFS should not be an issue.
I think main problem is with immich app dont have certain permission to create / edit file. under the mounted folder. But I dont know how to fix this
Got it, well that would be something you need to fix on the windows / docker side
As immich can’t control that
Thanks anyway
