No photos appearing after migration
I have an Immich instance running on TrueNAS Scale 25.10.0, configured with a custom storage template.
Before updating Immich to the latest version, I needed to migrate to the new storage configuration. Following the official migration guide, I created the new datasets as described.
I then used rsync to copy all the directories listed in the guide from the previous storage path to the new one inside my main data dataset.
After completing the migration, I updated the hostPath values in the Immich configuration for both the Data Storage and Postgres Data Storage locations.
But when I start Immich, the home page shows up empty, even though all the files are correctly stored in the data dataset.
Can I fix it or am I doomed to reupload everything through the GUI?
(In the meantime I went on and updated immich to the latest version, so now I m on v2.2.3)

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.When you say the home page is empty, were you prompted to create a new account before accessing it ?
yes, correct
that means a new database has been created, have you confirmed you are using the original dataset for postgres?
I don't really know how to do that. But i see that the pgData folder in my new dataset is empty, while the pgData in my old dataset has many files and folders. Should I rsync that?
Well yes
Stop immich
Delete the content of the new pgData
Rsync that folder
Start immich again
The guide made the assumption that you created the data dataset next to the old db one if you had one
And if you were using ixVolume there is the tip section
That was the issue and now it's fixed. Thank you!
