Immich on new server, media-location migration not working

Hi, I am currently in the process of migrating Immich from Yunohost to a "proper" Docker install.

The database migration worked flawlessly, and Immich is also running. Now my problem: I am only seeing blurry images as the thumbnails can't be loaded, and when clicking on a photo, it is also not shown.

Error in the logs:

Yunohost was setting the media location env variable, now I want to get rid of that and currently just mounting in the /data folder.

Directory structure within
/data
/data
(taken from within the container), the mount seems to work without problems.

My immich server from docker-compose:

  immich-server:
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:v1.138.0

    volumes:
      - /mnt/immich-data:/data
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    depends_on:
      immich-redis:
        condition: service_healthy
      immich-database:
        condition: service_healthy
    environment:
      PORT: 2283
      SERVER_URL: ${SERVER_URL}
      FRONT_BASE_URL: ${FRONT_BASE_URL}
      # Database Configuration
      [...]
      # Redis Configuration
      [...]
      TZ: ${TZ}
    restart: always

I have seen in the release notes (v0.137.0) a case that should handle this case automatically.

But after updating, the issue still persists. I am a little bit out of ideas.

Any idea how to fix this?
