How best to migrate photo library location

🗄️Server❓Question
Hi there, I hope you're well! I've been running Immich happily on my Synology NAS for a few months, and really loving it.
I'm doing some housekeeping on the NAS and want to move the location of my photo library to a different fileshare on the same NAS. The docker compose, postgres, .env and model-cache files would stay as they were. But the 'photos' folder would be moved somewhere else.
Would it just be a matter of stopping the container, copying the 'photos' folder to the new location, and updating the .env file. Or would there be more steps?
Many thanks 🙂
