Migrate from imagegenius to docker compose on Unraid
Hello! I am looking to move from the imagegenius app on Unraid to the docker compose method. Since imagegenius has the
New files are being uploaded into
IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION set, I wanted to confirm what environment variables I should set.
I noticed my folder structure from the imagegenius app ended up like:
To help with using my cache instead of the array for things, I have the mapping like this:
New files are being uploaded into
/photos/uploads. Would I want to specify the UPLOAD_LOCATION to the root of my unraid folder like /mnt/user/immich/photos/ and the IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION to /photos still?
I mainly am not sure if Immich is trying to use the UPLOAD_LOCATION environment variable elsewhere (as in the literal upload location that should map to /photos/upload in my case).
Two random notes /photos/library is empty. Not sure what it is for but I have I mapped anyway since the folder existed. I think /libraries is mounted in case I wanted external libraries, which I am not using.6 Replies

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:Imagegenius seems to set a specific location for each folder which is totally fine.
https://immich.app/docs/guides/custom-locations
You should be able to add the folders to the .env as you want it to be, like:
UPLOAD_LOCATION = /mnt/xxx/immich/library
ENCODED_VIDEO = /mnt/xxx/immich/encoded-video
and so on
the UPLOAD_LOCATION is used to the first uploads, when you dont use a filename template, all files will be stored inside the UPLOAD_LOCATION, otherwise in /mnt/xxx/immich/library/library/<user_name>/Cool, that is what I thought as well. Glad I am not toooo crazy
What is weird is that the folder in immich
/photo/upload has a folder for each user (the uuid it looks like). So is that the current UPLOAD_LOCATION? Or is library the temporary holding ground until immich processes it, then it moves it to the upload folder?
Assuming I want to keep using `/photo/upload', I think the answer is that I'd define all the environment variables like this:
Then I'd set the volumes matching what I have in the OPYea the
/photo/upload is just a "temporary" folder, when you are NOT using the filename template, otherwise all files are stored there.Thanks so much for the info! I don't want to break my setup 😄
I am not using the filename template, so that makes sense. I am going to get the env setup and cross my fingers!
