    I just rename the immich file, install a new immich instance and copy the data over manually to the new install, deleting the old install file after a week or so

    I’ve had the least buggy experience that way

    Immich updating is a dogwater experience

      I wish it was that simple. I have over 15 TB of videos and images as far back as the 1970s. Mostly in raw format or slog format. Copying and pasting an instance would take me a ton of time.

        Yeah I wouldnt trust immich with directly storing it myself

        Get that stuff off on its own and have immich access that as shown in Louis Rossmann’s setup video

        Think of it like having a dedicated steam drive with the os on its own, so if you have to format or decide to distrohop, you don’t have to download and reinstall a dozen +250GB games
