/usr/src/app/upload -> /data migration - resulted in all transcoded videos now missing
hey all!
my immich server was really out-of-date and i've been working on getting it back up-to-date. i was following the changelog instructions for
v1.137.0 on github and i decided to change these fields in my docker-compose.yml:
- ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload became - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/data
- ${ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload/encoded-video became - ${ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION}:/data/encoded-video
i made this change just because i thought it would be good to stay up-to-date with current usage, but this may have been a bad idea... not sure
anyway, now my transcoded videos are all showing a red exclamation point and none of them will play. also seems like my thumbnails might be broken
i've tried to search for guidance on how to fix this, but i'm at a loss. does anyone have any guidance on how to resolve this? or will i just need to delete my old generated files and run all the jobs again?
thanks so much for your help!!12 Replies

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:Sounds like it's just not mounted (yet)? Does it show under /data when you check inside the container?
thank you for your help!
i have to mount it from inside the container? i’ve been looking for any related path settings, but haven’t found any yet. do you know where?
No you don't have to mount it from inside the container, it's just a way to check whether it's mounted at all
i’ve been searching for any related path settings… still haven’t found anything
i appreciate any and all help. thank you!
To get into the container you have to do
docker exec -it immich_server /bin/bash fyi 🙂yes i’m in the container now. it looks like the
/usr/src/app/upload directory no longer exists
/data does exist. /data/encoded-video has files in it… /data/thumbs has files in it… i don’t understand why the thumbnails and transcoded videos stopped loading after i made this change… but they stopped precisely after i made this specific /data change
does anyone have any ideas?You didn't make a typo or something silly in your compose?
i’ll check again
Feel free to share 👀
do i need to make this
/data change anywhere else?
alright, i figured it out... turns out i misunderstood a lot of the mounting paradigm of immich and had to catch myself up-to-speed
had to rework my paths and then go into the database and replace a bunch of erroneously-written paths on my assets
took a lot of cleaning up and reworking, but my immich server is all back up and running beautifully!
