A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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?
