Importing from a previous immich installation.

[koda-git]

It seems like there is no way to make immich rescan a previous (currently unindexed) immich mount directory without using the /import mounting feature. This seems to make the file structure complicated, having two mounts to have the previous library and the new uploads

If anyone wants to grab all the existing from a previous immich mount and reupload them to immich manually, I made a quick bash script that helps with moving all the images into a single directory.. from then on you can upload them all at once

#!/bin/bash

# Directory where the files will be collected
DEST_DIR="images"

# Create the destination directory if it does not exist
mkdir -p "$DEST_DIR"

# Find all files in the /admin directory and its subdirectories
# Assuming you are running the script within $IMMICHDIRECTORY$/library
find ./admin -type f -exec cp {} "$DEST_DIR" \;

echo "All files from /admin and its subdirectories have been copied to the $DEST_DIR directory."
