Fellow self hosting friends, I screwed up. Not only have I deleted Immich’s PostgreSQL folder but I also didn’t have backups (of the database, of the photos I do).
I’ve tried to recover the deleted folder but there’s not much left even with proper tools. I’ve checked and the photos are still there, so my question is: Is there a way for immich to rebuild the database with the photos there? Should I start from scratch and re-upload?
You can add your existing photos as an external library after starting from scratch with Immich, they’ll show up just like before.
