Docker services stuck after NAS shutoff and working directory renamed
Posted: 29 Oct 2026, 05:12
I've been working on learning docker. I installed immich and was in the process of uploading my library of photos when...something happened and the NAS shut off. Upon rebooting, neither of my installed containers will restart. I notice that the name of my Docker directory has changed from "DockerData" to "@DockerData". Maybe that explains why the immich project is complaining that the "Compose configuration file has been deleted"; the file appears fine and in the normal place...within that directory structure, at least.
My first instinct was to simply rename the directory, but when I was setting up Docker, I put that data directory in the root of Volume1 and therefore had to had to make it a shared folder. I guess we aren't allowed to rename or delete shared folders? I don't know how to fix this. I suppose I could create a new DockerData folder and copy the contents in, but that seems like more of a kludge than a solution. Suggestions for how to fix this?
