Unraid Immich Instance Gone

I had a problem with my Docker image on Unraid so I've had to pull down all my containers again (using the exact same configurations for each). I had Immich setup using Docker compose and I've just created it again using the exact same compose file but upon opening the web ui it is as if I am setting up from scratch. My understanding is it should have picked up all the data from the prior instance? Please help how can I resolve this?

Do you have a backups folder in your upload_location?

CheezelzOP•5mo ago

yes I do

Immich•5mo ago

https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore

Zeus•5mo ago

You’ll have to restore from our docs

CheezelzOP•5mo ago

Zeus•5mo ago

Might be good to switch Postgres to a bind mount folder while you’re at it

bo0tzz•5mo ago

To clarify exactly what the problem was:

    volumes:
      - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data

    volumes:
      - pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data

Pgdata is a docker volume And so was stored in the docker image you removed

CheezelzOP•5mo ago

I've looked at this but I don't quite even understand the first command in the restore. The output from it in the unraid window is: no configuration file provided: not found yeah I gathered this would be the case, what changes to the compose file need to be made to have it a bind mount instead?

bo0tzz•5mo ago

You need to run it in the folder with the compose file

CheezelzOP•5mo ago

ahh that makes sense

Zeus•5mo ago

You can take an example from our current docker compose file

CheezelzOP•5mo ago

I'll have a look Would you recommend replacing my current compose file with the most recent example one? Thanks so much, the restore worked perfectly!
