Proper way to duplicate Immich from one TrueNAS server to another
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to properly duplicate my Immich from one TrueNAS server to another TrueNAS server.
After thoroughly reading the backup/restore documentation of Immich, I was puzzled that the backup was done without turning off the application. Also I'm confused that the documentation says "Note that for the database restore to proceed properly, it requires a completely fresh install (i.e. the Immich server has never run since creating the Docker containers).", while I don't think it is possible to install Immich on TrueNAS without starting it. The pg_dumpall command would also not work without first starting Immich so that Postgress container starts.
Anyway, those confusions didn't stop me from trying to figure out how to properly do it and I think I did find how (it did seem to have worked). But I was hoping you could perhaps confirm that I'm doing the right thing.
So in the attached screenshot, you can see what I did (it was too much text to paste)
Thanks for your help!
