Great work so far developers! No kidding on the VERY active development. Thank you on behalf of all current users. So my issue, apparently after update, Immich seems to not acknowledge/“see” existing photos in upload path folder. Currently running Immich on UNRAID 6.11.5 Docker Compose Latest Immich version 1.57.1. A couple of updates ago Immich seems to have reset, and did not retain previous user info (including admin) . After reusing same user credentials, no new folders were created in share folder. So the expectation, in my mind, was for Immich to display photos is existing folder, and then find if there were any new photos in device (s) and upload those. However, it displayed 0 photos, and started uploading images from scratch. I explored the upload path folder /user/mnt/Photos/Immich in my case, and all the photos uploaded in previous versions of Immich are still there, but not displayed/seen by Immich. Hopefully that makes sense.
#Immich does not acknowledge existing photos in upload path folder

Hello Immich doesn't read from an existing file system, you will have to ingest your photo to Immich
Ah hold on
. So the expectation, in my mind, was for Immich to display photos is existing folder, and then find if there were any new photos in device (s) and upload those.
Can you elaborate a bit more? Where is this existing folder?

If you had to create a new admin account, you basically are starting fresh and immich won't know about any pre-existing files in the file system. Alternatively you could have taken a backup of postgres and done database restore at that point.
