Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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
