Redeploy Immich On A New Server

Hey all, I'm trying to redeploy immich on my new server, and I want to reuse my old immich directory with all my pictures so that I don't have to reimport reimport everything as I have tens of thousands of pictures. Is there any way to do this?

Yes this is the way. (The link PliBro posted) I tested it moving from one machine to the other. The only thing I ran into was docker complained about "docker-compose create" It said use docker-compose up --no-start. I think it is depreciated because of the version I was running. Then I did docker start immich_postgres and the import of the database after that. This is assuming you rsynced/copied the library to the new location it should just work.
