Dear Alexandre, #immich question

I am aware that this may be a wrong thread… but I landed here via link from immich add-on.
I plan to migrate the immich data folder to an external HDD.
To test it first, I just renamed immich data location folder “share/immich” to “share/immich_new” and changed it in the add-on configuration.

The add-on starts well, but I get the whole library is missing thumbnails.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, access '/share/immich/thumbs/58f0660b-c7ff-40fc-b847-36de547fb2e4/3d/72/3d723dec-aecd-47a4-a61b-0f0ccda3f6ea-thumbnail.webp'

Is it because of the hard-coded absolute paths to thumbnails or is there a way to change it?

Kind regards and you’re cool, Alexandre!!
Konstantin

Hello, i’d say, wrong thread, but funnily crossed my searches today for another matter, but I can maybe help :slight_smile:

My feel is this is the issue, and I posted about this on redit, but, no immich answer as yet (if there will be)

IMO, the fact immich hard codes the base path into the fields, seems wrong to me.

https://www.reddit.com/r/immich/comments/1hq8vkj/migration_to_a_new_homeassistant_os_server_haos/

from that post you will find my write-ups, as I had recently done this migration, and documented the steps there for others to follow.

IMO, not sure if this will work for all, but did for me.

@alexbelgium
Thanks for providing the Immich Add-on, i would like to use an “External library” since i have a huge library that would be quite painful to upload through the Immich WebUI.
I already tried to add paths within my /upload immich directory as an external library in the Admin UI, however it always states that the path validation has gone wrong. In the Docs i see the hint, that the folder should be mapped as a volume mount to the Docker container.

Is there any possibility to do that? Would injecting sth. through immich.sh work? Any ideas/input is greatly appreciated!
