Import External Library
Hi All,
I love immich and the potential it can offer to get away from Google Photos et al, but I'm encountering a challenge getting the majority of photos and videos pre-Immich into Immich. I have tried following the external library https://immich.app/docs/features/libraries#create-external-libraries, but with no success. I have moved onto the CLI based import process but I'm missing something along the way. Below are the steps taken... I'd appreciate any help to correct where I went wrong. 1. Logged into the immich-server docker container via docker exec -it 405fc6a7021c /bin/bash (405fc6a7021c = docker container id) 2. Updated the below command found here: https://immich.app/docs/features/bulk-upload (immich upload --key HFEJ38DNSDUEG --server http://192.168.1.216:2283/api --recursive directory/) I want all the photos and videos included in the subfolder included in the upload `docker run -it --rm -v "/mnt/clegane/Pictures/Media:/import" ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-cli:latest upload --recursive --key Lf121lCAvArU9IztOGYe4UOjJwXWmZUkiWWhDYbNgs --server http://192.168.1.147:2283/api --recursive directory/ /mnt/clegane/Pictures/Media = mounted path to the folder that includes all the photos, videos, and subfolders. Lf121lCAvArU9IztOGYe4UOjJw**mZUkiWWhDYbNgs (Not the actual API key = the API key found via instructions here: https://immich.app/docs/features/bulk-upload http://192.168.8.1:2283/api = the address to the immich app (not the actual IP) The result from the above command is: bash: docker: command not found Setup: - OS - Ubuntu Server - Deployment via Docker Compose - External library mnt'd from another server - Pulled down all the photos from Google Takeout which includes the folder structure that is included in the Google zip files
