    If you have an existing photo library somewhere on a drive, and load it in immich keeping its own folder structure. In the docker compose file you map the external library to the container.

      It keeps folder structure now? I remember when I tried to import my Digikam/Piwigo based collection, it would dump it all into 1 album flattening the hierarchy if directories.IIRC this was a technical decision on Immich choosing to use a list of albums vs a folder hierarchy. I’ll need to give it another try if it’s changed

        On the drive your hierarchy is kept as it is if you use the external library feature. In this realease you can even browse the folder structure on mobile.

        In Immich I did have to reorder all photos to their own albums, although I think there is a function that does this based on the folder structure. I did not try this however.
