Hey, bit of a linux noob here but I have it set to "UPLOAD_LOCATION=~/Media/Immich", but nothing has uploaded there even though I am able to use Immich normally. I'm tempted to stop the service, change the directory to "/home/cw1a/Media/Immich/" but I'm not sure if I can change the upload location without things breaking.

So can I try changing the upload location, and how can I find the location of the media that has already been uploaded?

What happen if you bring the stack down and up again with the previously used location, do you still see the media or download them?

Nope. Changed the path in the .env then reset the stack. Previously it was looking for the files in /root/Media/Immich/... and now it is looking in the directory I specified (which shows no pictures). So seems like the problem was the ~/

The only problem left is to move the folder structure to the new path. But I'll figure that out!

The folder moved to the new path is simple because the application use the intenral docker's path so external path is not an issue

as long as it matches with what you have in UPLOAD_LOCATION everything should be good
