November 26, 2025Nov 26 Hi all, I've been happily running immich using community apps on my system for 2 years now. Aside from earlier breaking changes issues, it's been problem-free.I had not logged into Immich for some time - but had updated Unraid a couple of times, and updated the dockers containers when shown there was an update available. When I logged in recently, it prompted to set up an admin user, then told me I had no photos. No obvious errors in the logs for immich, postgresql14, or redis. To troubleshoot, I noticed that the owner of my postgresql14 appdata was "UNKNOWN". Changing it in the Unraid GUI didn't help, as soon as I started the container it reverted back to UNKNOWN owner. I did not try restoring from backup, as I honestly don't know how long its been like this.Googling solutions came up with a ranging fixes like manually editing docker templates etc, but nothing Unraid-specific.I am currently runningUnraid 7.2.0postgresql14 v 14.17immich (latest update from Unraid docker tab.... could not query specific version from immich console, said postgresql14 error)redis v 8.4.0Any ideas where to start?

November 26, 2025Nov 26 Community Expert alots happened in that stack.v14 pgvetor was deprecated for future projects.immich is maintain a off branch version of Postgres with vetochord.you most likley need to set docker safe permissions.chmod 777 -R *chown nobody:users -R *Are you using CA or compose?

The postgresql branch looks to be a path.Question though if I rebuild the stack using the guide earlier, how do I migrate my old database? Or do I need to start again?
November 26, 2025Nov 26 Community Expert You can restore you old dta if you have a backup and point the corect foldrs to immich. You are in charge of your own data and backup in this case. Is it possible to restore yes. the guide is more catored to fresh installs. but yes you can migrate your old datbase to the immich v16 tag.Imich support forum as well: (As postgress has some things goin on...)https://forums.unraid.net/topic/146106-immich-docker-self-hosted-google-photos-setup/page/8/#findComment-1590054IF CA use Postgres v16 as the unraid docker tag for imagegenious immich server done't have things for pgv17 and 18 yet...if compose, you can us the latest github tag v18 : https://bmartino1.weebly.com/immich-on-unraid-docker-compose-guide.html*What teh immich maintainers want us to run...some side updates to add things unraids uses such as icons and lables for the webUI.https://forums.unraid.net/topic/193998-guide-immich-docker-setup-docker-compose/#findComment-1588925--I have yet to fix the docker file on immich being disaplyed...Postgress also thorwing soeme things in the way asI've even added to the unriad CA for this migration. you just need to corectly specify the postgress data path and docker tag. atm I have the CA set for v18
