So that's no fun!
I upgraded, a couple steps and got to current.
Everything was fine, i connected my mobile app, that was fine.
A couple hours later, and now it shows no images. My external library is still registered, and shows all the images there, but they aren't in immich anymore...
Thoughts? how would i go about checking the DB directly?

Please post the info requested above^^
Also please clarify whether this

is about web or mobile or both?
My external library is still registered, and shows all the images there
warm raft
hi, both.
My images are in an 'external library' , immich still sees them, but they are not imported, ie: the photos screen shows NO photos at all.
slim plover
Have you checked Trash?
warm raft
ho, there they are.
hm. any idea how that would have happened?
other than i selected them, and deleted them?
is there a very dangerous hotkey i may have clicked?
they are currently restoring.
'select all' is grinding to a stop,
in trash, any thoughts on batch restoring?
ah, i can click restore mid-select.
the restore-all button doesn't seem to work, just 'restored 0 photos'
the restore mid-select isn't working either.
magic arch
If they're all in the trash and restoring/rescan doesn't work, it might be that the container did not mount the volume properly
Check inside the container whether the files are mounted
slim plover
Right, there are essentially 2 ways how assets may end up in trash:
warm raft
ok great, what would i check for? the photos show up in the trash, so the drive is mounted...
magic arch
That's not how it works
warm raft
ok.
magic arch
The thumbnails are in the trash
magic arch
you would docker exec -it immich_server /bin/bash and navigate to the directory you mounted them at, or just docker exec -i immich_server ls -la /path/to/mount to see if they're there
magic arch
Verify the mount is present on the host if that's applicable and then just docker compose down && docker compose up -d
If this is a network mount you might want to look into using CIFS directly in the volume section of the compose with the hard option, not soft, so the container goes down (and up) when the mount does
warm raft
its local on my unraid server.
so i did down and up, still no mount..
.env: # You can find documentation for all the supported env variables at https://immich.app/docs/install/environment-variables
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/user/data/media/photos
IMPORT_LOCATION=/mnt/user/data/media/icloud/bill
i can see those are not being mounted
i should add the mounts to the imich-server/volumes config?
magic arch
What's actually in your compose?
warm raft
not sure what happened.
services:
immich-server:
container_name: immich_server
image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
# extends:
# file: hwaccel.transcoding.yml
# service: cpu # set to one of [nvenc, quicksync, rkmpp, vaapi, vaapi-wsl] for accelerated transcoding
volumes:
# Do not edit the next line. If you want to change the media storage location on your system, edit the value of UPLOAD_LOCATION in the .env file
- ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
env_file:
- .env
ports:
- '2283:2283'
depends_on:
- redis
- database
restart: always
healthcheck:
so, the mounts aren't tehre.
i guess i replaced compose when i upgraded.
with the new one.
ok... hmm.
ok, i see the external libray location is mismapped for some reason now.
ok, in my .nev
.env
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/user/data/media/photos
IMPORT_LOCATION=/mnt/user/data/media/icloud/bill
that is correct
the maps present in the immich-server docker however
does not include the import location
so in short, my import location (where i drop photos from icloud), is not mapped in, and not available to the external library.
magic arch
Did you put it in the volume section?
warm raft
Correct, it is NOT there.
volumes:
# Do not edit the next line. If you want to change the media storage location on your system, edit the value of UPLOAD_LOCATION in the .env file
- ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
so, i should add my import location.
magic arch
${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
${IMPORT_LOCATION}:/whatever/the/mnt/is/in/the/gui
yep.
i replaced the dockerfile as part of the upgrade, this must have been there.
it kept working, until i restarted the docker, and it dropped the mount.
makes sense.
ok.
external library is set to the import location, and looks healthy in admin.
photos are still in trash
and i cant seem to restore.
that file is on disk however.
im in the shell , in the server docker,
does it need to do a scan of some sort to correct that?
Thanks a tonne you both.
learning.
magic arch
Yes, you can trigger a rescan in the library section of the admin settings
trash = 30 days before delete
But a rescan happens every night 🙂
magic arch
It should automatically restore them as well when scanning
warm raft
that seems to be working yeah.
i'm backed up 6 ways from sunday, but wanted to understand what happened. now i do!
I wrote a script to synch icloud favorites with immich.
magic arch
So for the future, when applying the new docker compose don't forget to apply your customizations 🙂
magic arch
if everything's OK you can close the topic with /close
warm raft
thanks again.
