How to Change Drive Immich Saves Images to (Compile/Docker)

BourbonDoc · 29. April 2024

Another newbie question. I've gotten Immich working through an omv-compile install. However, no matter what I try to change on the .ENV or the Docker Compile/Data settings, the images only save to the boot drive where it seems to be installing.

From what I can tell the "UPLOAD_LOCATION=" portion of the .env tells Immich where to save. Is there a way to direct that to one of my OMV file systems? I tried putting in "omv/dev/sda/library", which i think is the location of my network drive file system, but that didn't seem to do anything.

I'm sure this is a failure of me understanding how Linux works, but I would very much appreciate any assistance!

This should help you understand why data from the /omv/dev/sda/library folder ends up on the OMV operating system drive.

omv7:docker_in_omv [omv-extras.org]

Awesome, I'll take a look

Instead of using a env, just use a full PATH on the volumes section to the filesystem you want to use. For eg:

/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-xxxx-yyyy-zzzzz/immich-app/data:/usr/src/app/upload

Instead of this:

Code

    volumes:
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

Use this:

Code

    volumes:
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-xxxx-yyyy-zzzzz/immich-app/data:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro

Or add to the .env :

Code

UPLOAD_LOCATION=/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-xxxx-yyyy-zzzzz/immich-app/data

That location, if exists, isn't done by OMV.

You should get yourself familiarized on Linux FS tree.

I'm going to learn some FS tree and see if I can make this work. Thank you!
