Upgrading Immich
> docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
> docker image prune
Backup immich's postgres database
> docker exec -t immich_postgres pg_dumpall --clean --if-exists --username=postgres | gzip > "/share/PhotosImmich/immich-library/backups/dump.sql.gz"
Restore immich's postgres database [WARNING!]
> docker compose down -v
