#Moving immich to new deployment

I recently moved immich to a new deployment. The main immich app / media folder is now under a different path. Even so immich seems to look for assets under the old path even though it is not mentioned anywhere in configs or environment variables. I have tried configuring all the *_LOCATION env variables to no avail. Using the old path is not an option. Is there some hidden configuration that would allow me to change the director or do I just have to nuke the install?

I solved it with a dirty hack:

pg_dump -d immich > immich.sql
sed -i 's|var/mnt/data/immich|var/lib/immich|g' immich.sql
dropdb immich
createdb -e -O immich immich
psql -X -d immich -f immich.sql

If someone reads this you should stop immich-server before doing this.

TIL sed allows other delimiters
