Immich api no longer accessible after multiple updates.

I have my older server running a slightly older instance of immich (maybe a year old). I leave it at my family's places so they can use it. I update it when I visit every few weeks just to keep it running smooth. About 2 months ago I updated it and the API quit working. I didn't have time to dig into it then. I went back 3 weeks ago and still the same issue. So I brought it back home with me to check out. I have updated the docker container to the most current image. I have run

sudo docker image prune

sudo docker image prune

and

sudo docker container prune

sudo docker container prune

just to make sure that wasn't. When I run

sudo docker ps

sudo docker ps

I can see all the images for docker running, but I just don't have access to the web api.

Immich web API unavailable after update.

I ran

sudo docker compose && sudo docker compose up -d

sudo docker compose && sudo docker compose up -d

To update my immich and now my web API is no long available. I cna't access it from the IOS app either. I've pruned everything, but still no luck. I swear this happens 1/3 times I update immich..

Cannot access web API after moving thumbs folder

I have custom locations for my immich uploads. I was using my 3.6TB HDD to store all of my photos, and my 1TB NVME drive to store my thumbs so they would load faster. Well I needed to remove the NVME to use for another machine. I moved my thumbs folder to my HDD and changed the docker-compose.yml to match the directory that it moved to. I restarted my container and now I can't access the web API at all.

Changing "UPLOAD_LOCATION" cause immich to be unavailable

I'm trying to change my upload location to a known good directory on a seperate drive. I went through the hassel of getting the drive setup and availible. The file path if good. But when I switch the .env file to change the upload location to the other path, and re-deploy my container, I loose access to my immich. But if I go in and switch it back to library and deploy again it works again. How do I go about switching the picture upload location to a directory on a separate disk without breaking my immich? Default .env:
