📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Immich provides a server CLI: https://immich.app/docs/administration/server-commands/

This doesn't work out of the box:

> immich-admin
zsh: command not found: immich-admin

Adding the correct directory to PATH solves this:

> PATH="/opt/immich/app/bin:$PATH"
> immich-admin
Initializing Immich
Detected CPU Cores: 4
node:fs:441
    return binding.readFileUtf8(path, stringToFlags(options.flag));
                   ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open './package.json'
    at readFileSync (node:fs:441:20)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/opt/immich/app/dist/constants.js:37:59)
    at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1730:14)
    at Object..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1895:10)
    at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1465:32)
    at Function._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1282:12)
    at TracingChannel.traceSync (node:diagnostics_channel:322:14)
    at wrapModuleLoad (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:235:24)
    at Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1487:12)
    at require (node:internal/modules/helpers:135:16) {
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: './package.json'
}

Node.js v22.17.1

But, now it doesn't find the package.json, so the command needs to be executed in /opt/immich/app:

> cd /opt/immich/app
> immich-admin
Initializing Immich
Detected CPU Cores: 4
Usage: main [options] [command]

Options:
  -h, --help              display help for command

Commands:
  reset-admin-password    Reset the admin password
  enable-password-login   Enable password login
  disable-password-login  Disable password login
  enable-oauth-login      Enable OAuth login
  disable-oauth-login     Disable OAuth login
  list-users              List Immich users
  version                 Print Immich version
  grant-admin             Grant admin privileges to a user (by email)
  revoke-admin            Revoke admin privileges from a user (by email)
  change-media-location   Change database file paths to align with a new media location
  help [command]          display help for command

Using change-media-location reveals another issue:

> cd /opt/immich/app && immich-admin change-media-location
Initializing Immich
Detected CPU Cores: 4
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND redis
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (node:dns:111:26) {
  errno: -3008,
  code: 'ENOTFOUND',
  syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
  hostname: 'redis'
}
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND database
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookupall [as oncomplete] (node:dns:122:26) {
  errno: -3008,
  code: 'ENOTFOUND',
  syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
  hostname: 'database'
}
Unable to update database file paths.

It doesn't use any variables from the /opt/immich/.env file and uses a hardcoded value:

host: dto.REDIS_HOSTNAME || 'redis',

Copying the .env to /opt/immich/app does not resolve this. I am not sure why, I am no developer at all.

To fix this, I used a npm package:

> npm install -g dotenv-cli

added 11 packages in 472ms

4 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details
> dotenv -e ../.env node dist/main.js immich-admin change-media-location
? Enter the previous value of IMMICH_MEDIA_LOCATION: [/opt/immich/upload]

It would be nice if all of this would work out of the box for a fresh LXC installation. I think many users will switch from docker to LXC, and they need immich-admin change-media-location

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. Attach (or SSH) into the LXC
  2. Execute immich-admin

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).

bash: immich-admin: command not found

🖼️ Additional context (optional).

I already opened a discussion: https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/discussions/6420
but after I solved it, I think it's worth to open a issue for it.

Funnily enough, I ran into this yesterday as I was trying to fix an issue with many of my images failing to load.

I managed to get things to work by adding some content to their start.sh script.

I'll have to have a think about how best to deal with this.

Ohhhh and now there's 1.137.0 with some more changes. I was trying to test my fix for this and it dropped.
