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.
They don't care about you. They don't even want you as a subscriber, you're a pain in the ass. Most people are too tired and not tech savvy enough to pirate. A lot of those will eventually do something else, too, but they can cram ads into the streams faster than those people can find the wherewithal to leave.
In short, this is profitable, and no amount of raging will make it less so. Take care of yourself, but don't pretend you're making line go down.
