Had issue with Unraid, lost settings to all dockers. Immich reset.

[jpaige2018]

I have Immich on an Unraid server and I had a cache drive fail and lost all my settings for my dockers. including Immich and the ImmichSQL. Looks like the photo's are still in it's original location but when I get both the Immich and SQL setup again, no photo's shown. Please let me know what I need to do.

thank you,
James

If your database was not backed up you will need to reimport all the photos again, and you will loose the original file names in immich.
Different story if you had a backup, but does not sound like it?

is there a way to reimport from the existing folders or have them scanned again? there are 80,000 plus photos already sorted in the existing folder.

You need to move everything in photos out of the existing photos mount so its empty, mount the empty photos and the old one in the container and use something like immich-cli to import your existing photos to the new empty photos location

make sure you ONLY import /photos/library including thumbs and encoded video etc will mess everything up
