Proxmox corrupt but immich storage on seperate disk
Hello! Im pretty new to this… So Yesterday my proxmox bootloader got corrupt and i had to reinstall it. Now all my VMs and LXCs are gone but i still have my immich storage disk. Is there some way to get all the photas and videos back.
If i do
cd /mnt/immich_data
/mnt/immich_data# ls -lh
It shows folders called dump,images,immich-all,lost+found,private,snippets,template. A total of 376GB

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.that folder structure doesn't make sense. what is in immich-all?
Im pretty new to all of this

immich-app, what's in there?
How do i look? x)
ls immich-app
you are going to have a really hard time with restoring this though tbh
no backups setup through proxmox?Nothing comes up when doing ls immich-app.
No nothing. As i said im new to this and yesterday i had a power outage, after that i tried to restart my server and the proxmox was gone but i had immich storage on another drive

can you just run
tree
when you are in the /mnt/immich_data folder?
the only thing on this drive is one raw disk image
so there is still a lot to unpack/figure out here before restoring immich
Do you think its possible and worth it?
Probably not with no experience, no. Just reupload the images if you have them
Fuck. Oh well thanks anyways
Appreciate your time
I could recover everything with photorec. Might be good to know if someone else ever have this problem
