Immich Backup System Migration Summary

Changes Made

1. Directory Structure Reorganization

Created: /home/acedanger/shell/immich/ directory for all Immich-related scripts
Moved: backup-immich-db.sh → immich/backup-immich.sh
Removed: immich/logs/ directory (consolidated to main logs)
Deleted: Original backup-immich-db.sh from root directory

2. Centralized Logging Implementation

Log Directory: All logs now go to /home/acedanger/shell/logs/
Log Files:
- immich-backup.log - Main backup operations
- immich-validation.log - Backup validation results
- immich-restore.log - Restore operations (when implemented)

3. Script Updates

backup-immich.sh

Updated paths to work from immich/ subdirectory
Added centralized logging with timestamps
Enhanced with log_message() and log_status() functions
All major operations now logged with timestamps
Improved cleanup function with logging

validate-immich-backups.sh

Added centralized logging capability
Validation results logged to immich-validation.log
Enhanced error reporting and logging

restore-immich.sh

Added logging framework (template ready for implementation)
Configured to use centralized logs directory

4. Configuration Updates

README.md

Updated logging references to point to central logs directory

Updated crontab example to use correct log path:

0 2 * * * /home/acedanger/shell/immich/backup-immich.sh >> /home/acedanger/shell/logs/immich-backup.log 2>&1

Enhanced features list to highlight centralized logging

.env.example

Created example configuration file for easy setup
Contains sample values for required environment variables

5. Directory Structure (Final)

/home/acedanger/shell/
├── immich/                          # Immich management scripts
│   ├── backup-immich.sh            # Complete backup script
│   ├── restore-immich.sh           # Restore script (template)
│   ├── validate-immich-backups.sh  # Backup validation
│   └── README.md                   # Documentation
├── logs/                           # Centralized logging
│   ├── immich-backup.log          # Backup operations (when created)
│   ├── immich-validation.log      # Validation results (when created)
│   └── immich-restore.log         # Restore operations (when created)
├── immich_backups/                 # Backup storage (when created)
└── .env.example                    # Configuration template

Benefits of Changes

1. Consistency

Follows same organizational pattern as existing plex/ folder
All Immich-related scripts in one location
Centralized logging matches shell repository standards

2. Maintainability

Clear separation of concerns
Documented scripts with usage examples
Consistent logging format across all operations

3. Monitoring & Debugging

All logs in one central location
Timestamped log entries for better troubleshooting
Comprehensive logging of all backup phases

4. Automation Ready

Updated crontab examples for automated backups
Proper logging for unattended operations
Error tracking and reporting

Usage

Manual Backup

cd /home/acedanger/shell/immich
./backup-immich.sh

Automated Backup (Crontab)

# Daily backup at 2:00 AM
0 2 * * * /home/acedanger/shell/immich/backup-immich.sh >> /home/acedanger/shell/logs/immich-backup.log 2>&1

Validation

cd /home/acedanger/shell/immich
./validate-immich-backups.sh

Next Steps

Configure .env file with your Immich settings
Test backup script in your environment
Set up automated backups via crontab
Implement restore script (template provided)
Monitor logs for any issues

All logging will be automatically created in /home/acedanger/shell/logs/ when the scripts are first run.
