May 6, 20251 yr Ok, so I stayed up way too late last night fighting this. Originally I had Immich up and working fine using the array as the target for my share that Path: /photos points to. I since put a new nvme in as a pool and want to use that as my share target for Path: /photos. So here is maybe where I screwed up, I moved my share to point to the new pool/nvme then nuked the folder in array thinking in could just restart my container and all would be good. Well, no. I have since rebuilt the docker like 6 times pointing it to several different shares and it keeps spitting logs that it can’t find the encoded-video/ folder. What I suspect is that when the container is built it is not building any of the folder structure as when I look at the share the only folder in it is library with no files. Am I missing anything here that you can think of? I can’t for the life of me figure out why I can’t get this going.

May 6, 20251 yr Community Expert Solution See the guide... If you delete the folder and files, be it share, appdata folder and photo data... Then all data is gone unless you have a backup... If you have a database backup from immich see post on restoring postgress... Otherwise your starting over... READ the entire Forum post! and follow the guide I'd recommend the CA route...

May 7, 20251 yr Author Ok, finally got back to this. I followed your directions and have it installed again and up and working! Just thinking back on this, maybe it was my db that was screwed up? Originally I followed Spaveinvaders tutorial. I reinstalled Immich multiple times but never did anything with the db. Thank you for taking the time to respond ! Edited May 7, 20251 yr by dudg
