Switching from iCloud to Immich in a cleaner way
Well in the sync settings there’s also a setting for ignoring iCloud Photos. I’ve never had it on so I don’t know how it behaves exactly but maybe that’s also what you’re looking for?

Immich Storage and Safety
If you want to have another folder on your servers file system that should be read only by Immich and of which your pics should be displayed in Immich (while adding photos to that folder with a normal file explorer) then use external libraries for that purpose.

You could technically just put images in folders manually into the upload directory of Immich, but that shouldn't be done. Only Immich should add folders to this directory. Since Immich is setting up the directory structure. If you add pictures to that folder manually Immich doesn't know these pictures. You can use external libraries in Immich for that. Photos in Immich should always be uploaded through Immich. They will then land in Immich's directory and can be read in a normal folder structures as normal files. This ensures that even if Immich ceases to exist in 50 years or so for whatever reason, you will still have normal access to your uploaded images.

the database stores Immich related metadata. The images itself are stored in your upload directory's library folders and their sub folders They can be accessed and backed up by any other tool than Immich in theory

It means you should follow a backup strategy. Just running Immich isn't enough. You should back up Immich's folders and database dumps so in case the Immich instance itself breaks for some reason (never happened for me) then you will have a backup to restore from or to access your images and videos from

System integrity folder checks not passing after restoring from backup
Yes just saw it because on my previous host it was using ./library and the host path was 
root@immich:/data/compose/1/library# ls
backups  encoded-video  library  profile  thumbs  upload
root@immich:/data/compose/1/library# ls
backups  encoded-video  library  profile  thumbs  upload
Just changed it on the new host to /volume1/Immich so the absolute path...currently restarting

System integrity folder checks not passing after restoring from backup
Interestingly it seems like the Immich container is only mounting the upload directory but not the rest. But not sure if that is connected to the integrity checks.

Problem to do Restore with Docker
You have to add the container for your database and restore the database as described there: https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/ Also, you need to fill in your db name and password in your .env file as described here: https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose The log shows that immich can't connect to your database. Also note that you will need to restore your backup in your database container before spinning up the other containers. Otherwise Immich is missing all the database content

Hm, would it work as a temporary solution until this feature is implemented to switch the global setting on and off when my family would like to share an album? Or could switching this on and off regularly cause issues with something?
