TrueNAS Migration from V1.142.1 to V2.0.1 (Failed and have to register again as admin)

Hello,

I created a new instance of Immich like here https://docs.immich.app/install/truenas/#first-steps
also added data and pgData to dataset.

Then I did this https://docs.immich.app/install/truenas/#migration-from-old-storage-configuration

rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/library/ /mnt/Speicher/immich2/data/library/
rsync -av /mnt/Speich/immich/upload/ /mnt/Speicher/immich2/data/upload/
rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/thumbs/ /mnt/Speicher/immich2/data/thumbs/
rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/profile/ /mnt/Speicher/immich2/data/profile/
rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/video/ /mnt/Speicher/immich2/data/encoded-video/
rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/backups/ /mnt/Speicher/immich2/data/backups/

rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData/ /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData/

and applied "Apply permissions recursively" for immich2/data
updated the immich app to new dataset and run

now I get the http://immich....auth/register webpage and have to register as new admin??? what I did wrong :/

SSpace Hello, I created a new instance of Immich like here https://docs.immich.app/ins...

[Pull Request] Implemented Video Upload and Player (immich-app/immich#2)

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:11 PM

You did this command
rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData
And forgot the trailing /

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:11 PM

can you do

sudo ls -la /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData

sudo ls -la /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData

XXiticks can you do ```sudo ls -la /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData```

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:13 PM

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:15 PM

Do you rememeber if you were using a dataset before for your database or if it was ixVolumes (I assume it was a dataset, as you have a pgData dataset)

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:17 PM

yes I setup the dataset, with library, upload, thumbs and and as host path in the app settings in V1.421

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:17 PM

no ixVolumes

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:18 PM

wait but

rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData

rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData

Is syncing from same dataset?

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:18 PM

shouldn't it be

rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData

rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:18 PM

type error sry

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:18 PM

sudo ls -la /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData

sudo ls -la /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:18 PM

what does this give then ?

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:19 PM

Well, another fix would be to point your immich pgData to the old one

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:19 PM

and afterward "move" the immich2/data into immich/data

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:20 PM

there is a zfs command for that

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:20 PM

I can try

XXiticks ```sudo ls -la /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData```

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:21 PM

share the output of this anyway

XXiticks ```sudo ls -la /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData```

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:21 PM

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:22 PM

Yes, so it looks like the rsync command did not work, as all files/folder of the db here have today's date

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:24 PM

so you can either
1) Reuse the old immich/pgData dataset
2) Delete the content of immich2/pgData and rsync the content from immich/pgData again

sudo rm -r /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData/*

sudo rm -r /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData/*

then

sudo rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData

sudo rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/pgData /mnt/Speicher/immich2/pgData

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:27 PM

that worked

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:28 PM

Option 2

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:28 PM

Nice!

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:28 PM

This is now immich2/pgData

SSpace This is now immich2/pgData

Immich•10/13/25, 3:28 PM

[Pull Request] Implemented Video Upload and Player (immich-app/immich#2)

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:29 PM

Yes, the rsync for pgData needed to be run as sudo

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:29 PM

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:29 PM

You might want to run all other rsync you ran with sudo also

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:29 PM

yeah I guess that was the problem, to do it with sudo :/

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:29 PM

just to be sure everything has been rsynced correctly

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:29 PM

and after that, when you're sure everything has been copied, you could delete the old dataset to reclaim space on your NAS (if needed)

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:34 PM

I started sudo rsync -av /mnt/Speicher/immich/upload/ /mnt/Speicher/immich2/data/upload/ ... now i have in the old immich/upload for example 20gb and in the new immich2/data/upload/ now 40gb

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:38 PM

use sudo rm -r /mnt/Speicher/immich2/data/upload/* ? and then again the sudo rsync?

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:52 PM

It shouldn't do that in theory

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:53 PM

But yeah, remove everything in immich2/data/*

Xiticks•10/13/25, 3:53 PM

and rsync again

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 3:58 PM

thank you !!!

Xiticks•10/13/25, 4:01 PM

No problem! Be sure you rsynced eveything and that it looks like eveything has been synced before deleting anything

Xiticks•10/13/25, 4:01 PM

Btw, jsut to be certain, you now only have 2 datasets right?

Xiticks•10/13/25, 4:01 PM

The rests are folders (that you don't see on TrueNAS webUI)

XXiticks Btw, jsut to be certain, you now only have 2 datasets right?

SpaceOP•10/13/25, 4:08 PM

yeh thats correct
