Comment on Immich restore postgresql
Infernal_pizza@lemm.ee 5 days agoWhen you first set it up there is an option to set a custom filesystem, I selected that and then chose the default which just sorts by year and day

I am aware and actually use this but it appears too restrictive for our needs.
The structure we were already using cannot be recreated. Honestly i could live with the default. But my partner who is less into computers likes to make their own backups on external hard drives and uses shared network drives rather then the immich web viewer.

So use whatever you were using before and add that as an external library to immich?

I am, that works really well actually and it even knows when the same file was moved.
But to add new files to that external library, which is in fact the only main library. We need to dig in immich file structure which at the very least enforces different directories and also uses those to store some forms of metadata.
Now its not the biggest deal, just an annoyance. the fix i am currently thinking is to move the immich directory to somewhere hidden and us systemlinks to get all uploads centralized under a single directory for further processing.
