yes
i just installed discord on my laptop iand can resend the pic if you need a clearer one
Can you tell me what you did to migrate?
sudo rsync -av /mnt/Storage/immich/upload/ /mnt/Storage/immich/data/upload
and so on
and did you also rsync the database?
no i deleted it and made a new one since it kept redeploying and looked on reddit and people said its a database issue if the app cant deploy
-_-
Well you deleted the database, so you deleted every info about your images
do i have to manually upload the images again?
Humm maybe
Is there anything in the backup folders?
i can check
yes there are
how would i restore it to the backups?
Well
so first inside your Immich app you have to add an environment variable
in the webui or cli?
TrueNAS Gui
there is a button for additionnal env variable
variable is and value should be
you can send a screenshot if you want me to double check
?
ok i just updated the app
now you stop it
stopped
now, do you have a the database dataset somewhere ?
Go in it with the shell
(I'll continue afterwards I'll go to eat)
but once you're in it you can
be sure to be well in the database dataset
other way would be to recreate the dataset
i have deleted all the files in pgdata
ok so now you can start back the immich app
(keep the env variable)
i deployed it but it keeps redeploying and when the status says deployed, there are no ports to connect to for the webui
That is normal
show the logs from the server
yes
good
let me find the stuff
From truenas shell you have to run
replace
/path/to/backup/dump.sql.gz
with the actual full path to the latest immich backup you have in the backups folder
the latest one that has my old data?
so /mnt/Storate/immich/data/backups/immich...143.0
its saying i dont have permission
i tried root and sudo
oh yeah mb
do sudo su first
like a separate command
then you redo the commnad
i triple checked it too, there shouldnt be any spelling error
didn't you forgot the backups after data?
oh i just caught htat
whoops
sorry
ok it finished
Ok so now you can remove the env variable in the Immich app
and start it again
do i login with my previous credentials or the new one i made?
It started?
Well with the old ones
thank you it worked
can you just show the immich server logs so I'm sure the is no other issue
otherwise your migration is done
It looks fine
So yeah, problem solved!
thank you, have a great day/night
