immich SSO migration path for existing user?
(lemmy.world)
I'm an immich user, switching from a standard u/p login to an SSO-based login.
I've tested the SSO login successfully, it seems to work, and I'm not having any issues with that.
However, the account generated by SSO login has a different email address and identifiers from the account I created earlier. I don't want to start from scratch with my photos, as I've spent countless hours updating metadata.
I think I need one of the following:
- a supported, tested way to merge an account with another account. I don't know if this is going to be similar to the "partner sharing" feature. I don't want to simply share the photos, I want to have full control over them; including, if I delete a photo, it's gone forever.
- a tested way to manually update the database to change all identifiers over to the new account
- a way to login to the existing account via my SSO portal. I can create any SSO user I want, for example.
- a way to export the entire library with metadata and re-import it to the new SSO account, structured exactly the same way. Ideally this would also restore anything ML has done with my photos, but it's not a disaster if I have to wait for ML to recreate what it already did in the new account.
Does anyone have information on how to achieve one of the above?
Followup question:
- can anyone confirm with certainty that metadata changes I made in immich have been saved in the image files in
/library/upload/*
? I am already making backups (both pg_dump and the entire contents of the library), but it would be nice to know where the metadata is actually kept, in case I have to do DR.
You wouldn't, of course. Hearing, the way we hear, in such an environment would be useless. We wouldn't have evolved that. This is like saying "ultraviolet radiation from the sun would be everywhere, all the time, can you imagine?" It is everywhere all the time, but as such it isn't a useful sense to possess, so we don't.
This also makes some very weird assumptions about what the sound would be like. If space were a medium sound could travel through then it would--like all mediums capable of carrying a sound wave--alter the wave in many ways. Intensity, frequency, etc. But since we don't know what kind of medium that would be, and since the comment doesn't posit any particular medium, we don't know what the sound would sound like or even how loud it would be.
