Update to newer version with old filesystem
I use Immich on truenas Scale 25 and my hard drive with the old immich app data broke, but ive got most pictures on another pool but with the old filesystem.
->
i need help how to set up a new immich installation but use the old filesystem (i dont want to install an older version). or is it possible that i choose my whole immich dataset as data and immich will find them on its own?
Many thanks for your help!
