Getting a no such file or directory error after editing docker-compose.yml

Recently tried moving my library directory, but error logs keep spitting out no such file or directory error. I don't think I see anything wrong with my .yml and .env files. I would greatly appreciate some help, this is headscratching Apologies for also sending an image instead of an .env file. I can't seem to download anything from my server currently.

docker-compose_1.yml

error logs keep spitting out no such file or directory error.

Exact errors (and logs in general, as per the automatic post above) would be helpful. Also docker exec immich_server sh -c 'ls -l /data/*'

Troubleshooting steps: tried modifying the docker-compose.yml and .env files to a directory /DATA/Gallery/immich Recent changes: I installed immich through CasaOS and then manually updated it to the latest version by following an online tutorial. Details: Software * Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS * Docker Engine - Community 28.3.3 * Immich 1.138.0 Hardware * Lenovo M710Q i3 7100t * 500gb HDD * 16gb DDR4 Ram

your locations are wrong ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/data this is correct UPLOAD_LOCATION=/DATA/Gallery/Immich/library this is not (probably) Could you show us ls -la /DATA/Gallery/Immich and ls -la /DATA/Gallery/Immich/library ?

GuestoOP•2mo ago

~$ ls -la /DATA/Gallery/Immich
ls: cannot access '/DATA/Gallery/Immich': No such file or directory
~$ ls -la /Data/Gallery/Immich/library
ls: cannot access '/Data/Gallery/Immich/library': No such file or directory
~$

~$ ls -la /DATA/Gallery/Immich
ls: cannot access '/DATA/Gallery/Immich': No such file or directory
~$ ls -la /Data/Gallery/Immich/library
ls: cannot access '/Data/Gallery/Immich/library': No such file or directory
~$

my immich folder on there isn't capitalized though just a moment

Yes sorry I had to type it out manually from your screenshot 😛 You are missing an upload directory at the very least could you also show ls -la /DATA/Gallery/immich ? @Canto

Mraedis•2mo ago

If you use a tool like ncdu -x /DATA/Gallery/immich or du -x /DATA/Gallery/immich where are the files actually stored? For 'thumbs' for example, is it /DATA/Gallery/immich/thumbs or /DATA/Gallery/immich/library/thumbs ?

GuestoOP•2mo ago

it's directly parented to the immich folder the former

Mraedis•2mo ago

In that case you want UPLOAD_LOCATION=/DATA/Gallery/immich

GuestoOP•2mo ago

It's fixed the error, but its still not displaying any of my previously uploaded photos in immich

Mraedis•2mo ago

Alright could you explain a bit more how you:

Recently tried moving my library directory

GuestoOP•2mo ago

CasaOS's version of immich seems to set the default library to /DATA/Gallery/immich, I think upon updating the software through the instructions on github? It moved the default directory somewhere else. I tried copy-pasting the /DATA/Gallery/immich files to said directory, but there were too many files. the directory is in /var/lib/casaos/apps/immich/library

GuestoOP•2mo ago

this is the DATA/Gallery/immich directory currently

GuestoOP•2mo ago

here's whats inside the library folder

Mraedis•2mo ago

How did you try copy pasting like from the web gui?

GuestoOP•2mo ago

yes

Mraedis•2mo ago

a simple cp -a /source /dest from the command line would probably have worked better

GuestoOP•2mo ago

hahahah, this is my first time using linux

Mraedis•2mo ago

Alright but to clarify for starters, you don't need all these:

      - ${THUMB_LOCATION}:/data/thumbs
      - ${ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION}:/data/encoded-video
      - ${PROFILE_LOCATION}:/data/profile
      - ${BACKUP_LOCATION}:/data/backups

      - ${THUMB_LOCATION}:/data/thumbs
      - ${ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION}:/data/encoded-video
      - ${PROFILE_LOCATION}:/data/profile
      - ${BACKUP_LOCATION}:/data/backups

All you need is:

      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/data

      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/data

Because your library isn't divided in separate locations Did you move the files or copy? this is very important Because I need to know whether to try and rescue your folders or try another copy 😛

GuestoOP•2mo ago

i copied them, i dare not try moving files right now i'll just try another copy then :P

Mraedis•2mo ago

alright compose down, then rm -rf /DATA/Gallery/immich And then copy properly with cp -a /var/lib/casaos/apps/immich /DATA/Gallery/immich

GuestoOP•2mo ago

ah apologies my wording isn't that good then, those are inverted :P

Mraedis•2mo ago

:monakS: Almost deleted your photos there

GuestoOP•2mo ago

wwww i think the /DATA/Gallery/immich directory is missing docker-compose.yml for some reason I think i'll just do it the other way around,

GuestoOP•2mo ago

an unfortunate misunderstanding of the cp command has caused this situation

GuestoOP•2mo ago

nevermind it is worse

GuestoOP•2mo ago

found it out I might die from trying to troubleshoot this, I think i'll just reinstall everything without using casaos this time :-) thank you for the help, i appreciate it!
