File or folder '/var/www/immich' to be backed up does not exist

Failed to collect files to backed up for immich.

App broken :cry:
I hope you have a working backup to restore…

Wow! So sad..
That means I lost the photos? Or maybe I can recover those? I never did a backup, just the supposed backup it makes when upgrading

I have all these files:

Can I just restore the immich pre upgrade backup through the webUI? So I should uninstall Immich first?

Yes and yes

Check this out maybe it’ll help you:

It’s important to see which of the backup files is the one you should use, which is usually the biggest one.

10

I restored through the WebUI and everything went fine! Now trying to upgrade but it always gives me the memory issue, even if I firstly stop a lot of running services…

11

Could you try sudo rm -f /swap_immich and retry?

12

didn’t work
here is the log
what I haven’t tried is deleting the swap_immich and also stopping services… should I go for that?
thanks!
