Describe your issue

I’m trying to find how to add my network mounted storage in immich. In the docker version there was a .env file to edit and add them there, but I can’t find that with the Yunohost installation.

Hi,

I have not used Immich with a networked storage but i have done something similar: created a link to an other disk drive that is mounted on my system, i assume you can do the same thing.

Just run ln -s /mounted_storage/upload/* /home/yunohost.app/immich/upload/

Where the immich/upload folder is where Immich store all the data that you, upload.

Please note that it’s not the “good” way to do it and it can broke Immich if you mess up with something like i did a few weeks ago. Try to do it on a VM before doing it on your server.

And as i’m writing this, i think i have find i better way to do it, but you will still need to do the tings i say before so that the data that you will upload will end on the network storage.

Immich support external library, and even if in the guide it says to touch at the cocker-compose.yml, i have added a new library without touching anything.

I hope this can help you

Hello,

Did you manage to get this setup working? I’ll try the same workflow.

You first have to mount your network storage to something like /mnt/my_storage with rw access and then in immich administration add the external library.
It’s what i did and it works without any issue.
