Moving the uploads location

[tehn]

Hello!

In the .env I defined the path on a drive which eventually filled up.

What's the suggested method migrating to a different upload path? I'd like to simply move the entire upload folder to a new place without having to manually modify the database if possible.

Many thanks.

That works, just move the files and change UPLOAD_LOCATION to the new path.

Hi there, I have a similar question.

immich is currently indexing two different "external libraries":

1. /mnt/nextcloud/data/user1/files/Fotos, owned by user1
2. /mnt/nextcloud/data/user2/files/Fotos, owned by user2

I just want to move those file-structures to a different path without having immich re-indexing several ten-thousand images and videos.

In my case, I've never set/edited the UPLOAD_LOCATION in .env (because I was only using "external libraries"), so I guess it's still the default value;

UPLOAD_LOCATION=./library

Would you please be so kind and tell me what to do? Many thanks for your time, have a nice day!
