just lost entire Immich library after reinstall
My Immich app within CasaOS has frequently stopped working for me, and the solution has been to reinstall the app without deleting the user data. After the reinstall completes, the app opens up, and my photos are still there.
Until today.
I reinstalled the app after it wouldn't open, and then had to leave the house for a bit. Upon my return, I opened Immich, and all my stuff is gone.
About 850GB worth of photos and videos.
I have a database backup from 5/5/2025.
I still have all my photos up until 5/5 as well in the old directory.
I'm new to self-hosting and not sure how to proceed.
