Restore Borg Backup + Swap from immich LXC to Docker

Hey,

so i messed up some stuff, but luckily had a borg backup. So i mounted and then extracted that.

Since after i messed up I also swapped from immich LXC to alpine linux docker lxc there are no real useful logs.

I basically extracted it and then moved everything from the extract to ./~library where I can see it. But my immich instance doesnt seem to recognize it nor do anything with it. Having to create a new account not seeing photos etc.

I guess the reason is the rights. Normally its

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root

but after extracting the backup and then rsync it to the folder its get set to

-rw------- 1 999 996

So anything I can do about that? Or a known workaround?

Tbh I tried it the last two days myself, but I cant get a solution for that.. I guess thats a Borg thing? But I cant seem to figure it out at all.. Would appreciate any hints.
