Your mount point is broken, or it was broken before and it is now working.

[yazanchihabi]

hmm well it keeps restarting still and i havent really changed anything between updates

[yazanchihabi]

okay i think i fixed it by doing the following:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/immich/upload/encoded-video
sudo touch /mnt/immich/upload/encoded-video/.immich

for folder in encoded-video thumbs upload backups library profile; do
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/immich/upload/$folder
sudo touch /mnt/immich/upload/$folder/.immich
done

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /mnt/immich/upload
sudo chmod -R 755 /mnt/immich/upload

docker compose down && docker compose up -d

[bo0tzz]

That's not a safe way to fix it, odds are you've lost data

[yazanchihabi]

i still have all my photos/videos. any suggestions on how to fix it better?

[bo0tzz]

Figure out why Immich isn't seeing the files and resolve that
