# Immich migration plan
|
||
|
||
One-time migration of photos from Nextcloud into Immich's native library.
|
||
|
||
- **Source:** `/opt/argento/docker/nextcloud/data/timothykim/files/Photos/` (338 GB, ~58k files)
|
||
- **Target:** Immich native library on `threeteras` pool (`/opt/argento/docker/immich/library/`)
|
||
- **Tool:** `immich-go` via Immich HTTP API
|
||
- **Expected wall time:** ~1 day if videos are short clips, 2–3 days if significant long/4K video
|
||
|
||
## 1. Pause the backup cron (optional but recommended)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
crontab -e # comment out scripts/backup.sh line
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Re-enable after migration completes.
|
||
|
||
## 2. Install immich-go
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir -p /opt/argento/tools && cd /opt/argento/tools
|
||
wget https://github.com/simulot/immich-go/releases/latest/download/immich-go_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
|
||
tar xzf immich-go_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
|
||
./immich-go --version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 3. Get an Immich API key
|
||
|
||
Immich UI -> Account Settings -> API Keys -> New (label it "migration"). Save the key.
|
||
|
||
## 4. Get the direct container IP (skips nginx/TLS overhead)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
IMMICH_IP=$(docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}} {{end}}' immich_server | awk '{print $1}')
|
||
echo $IMMICH_IP
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 5. Dry-run on a small subfolder first
|
||
|
||
Pick one year or album:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./immich-go upload from-folder \
|
||
--server http://$IMMICH_IP:2283 \
|
||
--api-key <KEY> \
|
||
--dry-run \
|
||
/opt/argento/docker/nextcloud/data/timothykim/files/Photos/<small-subfolder>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 6. Real run on that subfolder, verify in UI
|
||
|
||
Drop `--dry-run`, run, then in Immich check: dates, GPS, thumbnails, album assignment look correct.
|
||
|
||
## 7. Full migration in tmux
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
tmux new -s immich-migrate
|
||
./immich-go upload from-folder \
|
||
--server http://$IMMICH_IP:2283 \
|
||
--api-key <KEY> \
|
||
--into-album-folder \
|
||
/opt/argento/docker/nextcloud/data/timothykim/files/Photos/
|
||
# Ctrl-b d to detach; tmux attach -t immich-migrate to resume
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Safe to Ctrl-C and re-run -- idempotent by file hash.
|
||
|
||
## 8. Wait for background jobs
|
||
|
||
Immich UI -> Administration -> Jobs. Watch these drain (can take hours to days):
|
||
|
||
- Thumbnail Generation
|
||
- Metadata Extraction
|
||
- Smart Search (CUDA)
|
||
- Face Detection + Recognition (CUDA)
|
||
- Video Conversion (NVENC)
|
||
|
||
## 9. Verify counts
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
find /opt/argento/docker/nextcloud/data/timothykim/files/Photos/ -type f | wc -l
|
||
# Compare to Immich UI -> Administration -> Server Stats
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If mismatch, re-run step 7 (will only upload the missing files).
|
||
|
||
## 10. Spot-check the library
|
||
|
||
Random samples across years, verify EXIF dates, GPS locations, faces grouping reasonably.
|
||
|
||
## 11. Clean up Nextcloud (only after you're satisfied)
|
||
|
||
Delete `Photos/` from Nextcloud UI -> empty trashbin -> verify `zfs list` shows `nextcloud/data` shrank.
|
||
|
||
## 12. Re-enable backup cron
|
||
|
||
Uncomment the cron line, then run `scripts/backup.sh` manually once to get a fresh full backup with the new Immich library.
|
||
|
||
## Rollback
|
||
|
||
If anything goes wrong before step 11, Nextcloud is untouched. Worst case: delete all Immich assets from UI (or wipe `/opt/argento/docker/immich/library/` and reinit the DB), start over.
