Restore “old” library
Hello everyone, I’m brand new to Immich and NAS systems in general - this may be a be a very ignorant problem but I have read the docs, worked over it with an LLM and am finally resorting to asking here:
Problem (self created probably):
- crashed Immich yesterday (maybe due to not setting automatic permissions in GUI setup? Worked for a day.) and reinstalled (trueNAS). Pointed uploads to old /photos dataset via GUI.
- Library shows no photos, but does read 9gb/10tb in bottom left corner, same as before crash.
- I go to Admin > external libraries > add
- I read docs related to external library: note conflict between text and images for file path:
- Text instruction: “/home/user/photos1”
- Image instruction: “/usr/src/app/external”
- Neither work
- I try the host path(s)
- mnt/tank/media/photos
- mnt/tank/media/photos/library
- mnt/tank/media/photos/upload
- I try ChatGPT. Use some commands to confirm that the mount point:
- Try /data and every sub-directory there
- Try all kinds of stuff
- No luck
Any reccs? What am I missing?
Thank you in advance!
