Immich Migration to new storage format

Apps and Virtualization
1

First thanks in advance for your help and i should say i’m a newbie!
I’ve followed the guidelines on the immich official page and almost everything went fine!
I say almost, because after the update the immich app deploys but the server doesn’t start. It’s always trying bur never accomplish!
This is the log error of the server failure:

It’s so annoying…i had a plenty working system and right now due to “upgrade folders structure” i have not!

I did find a workaround that will get you back up and running.

In the Immich settings in TrueNAS, under “Additional Environment Variables” Under “Immich Configuration”, add the following:

Name: IMMICH_IGNORE_MOUNT_CHECK_ERRORS
Value: true

Update at the bottom, and then attempt to start the app again.
I found that variable on the page listed in the error.

Edit:
My issue was that I didn’t have the proper folders set up since they’ve changed things. I fixed that and set them up, and now I can run Immich without any issues, without that variable. Just food for thought…
