All photos before august first 2025 are blurs and inaccessible
I got an unusual issue.
All images before August the first seem to be blurs now and the images themselves are inaccessible.
The images themselves still exist in the uploads folder (as well as the thumbs folder) but they seem inaccessible.
I already tried running migration to migrate things to the latest folder structure and regenerating thumbs.
I am running Immich on Truenas scale using the community docker using the new storage configuration.
Currently running V1.143.0
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this.
When I check the logs of the container I see messages such as this:
But when I go into the docker shell itself and navigate to the data folder I can clearly see the files being there. (I added a symlink to see if that would resolve it).
Figuring that it may be that the database for the older images points to uploads/bla bla bla while that is in /data/uploads I tried creating a symlink in the pwd to uploads, thumbs etc
But nothing seems to work. Any advice on how to restore immich to a working state?

This is probably what you need to run to fix it
inside immich server shell
Updated to latest release V1.143.1.
Nothing in release notes, FAQ, Github
I am on local IP (no reverse proxy)
I did try an incognito window.
OMG. Thank you so much. I was really searching and I could not find a way to updata that in the database (without directly interfacing with the database myself which I did not want to do)
The issue was probably there before you updated given your description this is a migration issue that happened some TrueNAS versions ago
Yeah, I just did not notice because all recent images did work
Yeah new uploads were not affected
Glad it fixed it
Have a good day!
You can /close the ticket
You as well. Thanks once again
