System integrity folder checks not passing after restoring from backup
Hi, I moved my Immich server from a dedicated server onto my Synology NAS using it's Docker / Container manager.
Restoring the database from a backup worked well and all files where moved from the old host to the NAS, too.
However the immich_server container is stuck in a loop because folder checks are not passing. Specifically currently it logs that <UPLOAD_LOCATION>/encoded-video is not passing (so it says the .immich file is missing).
The file itself however is there:
I also tried adding
user: 0:0
to immich_server so it starts with root, but this doesn't change anything.
I then did id -u brayd
which is 1026 and id -g brayd
which is 100 and changed the user attribute in the docker file to: user: 1026:100
but I still get the error.
My current docker file is: (Pastebin because it's too long for Discord) https://bin.disroot.org/?f6503601167eea57#53Pij6TRqeUg21CVDLaEYESK1kfhayQWvJnPnV6MYmA
Any ideas why the integrity check fails?
I also attached a screenshot with the log itself.Disroot Bin - Encrypted pastebin by PrivateBin

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:Interestingly it seems like the Immich container is only mounting the upload directory but not the rest. But not sure if that is connected to the integrity checks.
how is UPLOAD_LOCATION defined?
looks to me is mounting your library folder
Yes just saw it because on my previous host it was using ./library and the host path was
Just changed it on the new host to /volume1/Immich so the absolute path...currently restarting
Yes, that fixed it 😄 Thank you!
