Ohboy. Tonight I:

• installed a cool docker monitoring app called dockge
• started moving docker compose files from random other folders into one centralized place (/opt/dockers if that matters)
• got to immich, brought the container down
• moved the docker-compose.yml into my new folder
• docker compose up -d
• saw errors saying it didn’t have a DB name to work with, so it created a new database

panik

• docker compose down
• copy old .env file from the old directory into the new folder!
• hold breath
• docker compose up -d

Welcome to Immich! Let’s get started…

Awwwwww, crud.

Anything I can do at this point?

No immich DB backup but I do have the images themselves.

EDIT: Thanks to u/atzanteol I figured out that changing the folder name caused this too. I changed the docker folder’s name back to the original name and got my DB back! yay
