data file in ix application dataset - how to move?

[canosgmk]

Hello,

I have installed and use photoprism for a year. After moving to bluefin, i have to back everything up and reinstall everything. From this task, one of the people helping me out told me the photos (data/files) of 40+ gigs is in my ix application / PVC dataset.

Long story short, i figured out how to change it however, i want to move ALL my photos and videos from that area to the correcting massstorage/photoprism dataset. not the current massstorage/ix-applications Pretty sure this isn't as easy as opening the folder, click and drag...

you need to use heavyscript to access the data in a PVC (seems to be where you're saying it is currently).

GitHub - Heavybullets8/heavy_script: Bash script for managing Truenas SCALE applications, automatically update applications, backup applications datasets, open a shell for containers.

I have heavyscripts, however, i can't see how to move that photos and videos from the PVC to the correct dataset.

In the heavyscript menu:

2 - 2 - 1

Then pick your app's PVC

It tells you where it's mounted.

Use that location to rsync or cp the data where you want it.

if you have the time, would you be willing to help write out the script?

im reading up how to use rsync now. super new to this. one of the reasons im using Scale cause i thought the GUI would be easier for me to handle.

additionally, it looks like rsync and cp is coping the data and moving it. I would like to move it completely out of the PVC.

Copy, then destroy the PVC dataset.

with the heavyscript mounting of the PVC done:

rsync -auv /mnt/PVC/mount /mnt/pool/location/you/want

Then from zfs list | grep ix-app

find the path of the dataset you mounted with heavyscript, then:

zfs destroy pool/ix-app.../data (obviously type out or copy/paste the entire path)

Don't expect the app to work until you edit it to have the PVC replaced by host path where you just put the data. (but you're re-creating it anyway, so should be fine).
