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?

Uh maybe with the new library update ? I'm not really sure..
I believe you need to do a backup/restore https://documentation.immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore#:~:text=The%20recommended%20way%20to%20backup,to%20use%20the%20pg_dumpall%20command.

Database
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.
shoot I forgot the database when I backed up, looks like I have to restart from scratch, thanks all
