Missing uploaded photos when restarting docker
Hey guys! I'm trying Immich to replace my Google Photos and have installed it on my local machine.
On my machine, I'm using Ubuntu 22, Docker Desktop, and Immich, which is running over Docker.
Every time I need to restart Docker for any reason, I lose all the progress that I had.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.can you post your setup?
sounds like a docker setup without any volume
when you ask for setup you mean yml and .env file or device setup?
Is this configured in .env file? Makes sense cause I don't know where .env file is.
its a hidden file, you can
nano .env and it should open.
Are there folders with assets in them in the folder where you have immich?I find it
and the content in file is
Everything should be in the library folder :aPES_Think:
no errors when you run
docker compose up and upload stuff? the permissions are mixedshow
cat docker-compose.yml
show docker compose logs (container-id)do you mind move the docker-compose and .env file to a folder on your home directory?
then start it up, register and then try restart your machine
then after it is done restarting, run
docker compose up again and check if the state are saved thereI moved to /home/rtassini/immich and imported some pics.
Is this WSL or Ubuntu @rtassini ?
Ah sorry ubuntu I see
With docker desktop
If you're losing progress any time you restart, then that means things aren't mounted the way you think they are
Looks like moving to the home dir solved it.
