How to migrate immich instance

I was running immich normally through the docker containers through the root user. I recently realized this was a bad idea and want to migrate it to a regular user. How would I not lose my data and just connect to the existing mounted storage area?

When I try to run the regular update script w/ immich, I receive this error message:

Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/host_mnt/home/administrator/immich-app/postgres': file exists


I assume this is trying to create a new mount exactly where the old mount was and failing, how do I tell it to not create a new one and just use the old one instead?
