Hi, I've mounted a NAS-share in docker-compose with:

  • <vm mount path>:<docker volume path>:ro

and would like to change the docker volume path. I know, that I also have to change the import path for the external library, but I don't want immich to completely re-index several thousand images and videos. Is there a way to achieve this? Many thanks!

No.

#

The docker volume path + filename is what Immich uses to determine the files inside

Many thanks for your time, sir!

Is there a particular reason you want to change this?

Not really in technical terms, I just bought and set up a new storage and wanted to "clean up" things
