📄 Description

Just wanted to add a clarifying note on what to do if an immich instance is running already. I had an instance running and because this guide said nothing about copying files but did specify to "restart" the containers (implying that they were already running at one point), I assumed Immich must have some sort of migration job to run after file paths are updated. I realized this was not the case when my containers failed to start after updating the paths. So I just wanted to add a little line to save anyone else that bit of confusion :)

Thanks for the great app!
