Database Queries

:::danger Keep in mind that mucking around in the database might set the moon on fire. Avoid modifying the database directly when possible, and always have current backups. :::

:::tip Run docker exec -it immich_postgres psql immich <DB_USERNAME> to connect to the database via the container directly.

(Replace <DB_USERNAME> with the value from your .env file). :::
