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
Awesome, take this close call as a kind reminder from the universe to backup!
Borg will allow incremental backups from any number of local folders to any number of remote locations. Borgmatic is a wrapper for it that also includes automated incremental borg backups.
I have a second server that runs this container:
nold360/borgserver
Which works as a borg repository.
I also buy storage in borgbase and so every hour and incremental setup goes to both.
The other day I blew away a config folder by accident and restored it with no sweat in 2 mins.
