Importing Pictures from Existing Immich Filesystem
I recently had to reinstall immich, as I had a root drive fail on my server some time ago, but thankfully I had immich's storage on a different disk. I installed linux on a new drive, mounted the drive that Immich was using for storage, and reinstalled Immich in docker, pointing to the same mount point it was using previously. As a result, immich is working, I can see the pictures in the filesystem, and Immich can even see that amount of capacity used out of it's total allocated; However, I cannot actually see the photos in Immich. I was wondering if there was a way to have Immich 'Scan' the filesystem for those pictures? I also wonder if it is not an issue of Immich not seeing the pictures, but instead that they were assigned to a user in my old Immich install and won't be visible on the new install as it is technically a different user? Not sure.
Any help is appreciated
