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
If you want to change the name of the directory without breaking your volumes (or running services, etc), you can specify the name of the project inside the compose file
