Upload location not being "honored"

hey all, I finally got Immich up and running. I think this is going to be really nice for the family photos. I am having one small problem though. The drive I am using to store my photos isn't being used, and when I upload photos, they show up as broken images. here is the compose:

      UPLOAD_LOCATION: /usb_element/photos
      REDIS_HOSTNAME: redis
      REDIS_PASSWORD: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
      TYPESENSE_API_KEY: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      TYPESENSE_HOST: typesense
    volumes:
      - ${DOCKERCONFDIR}/immich:/data
      - ${DOCKERSTORAGEDIR}:/storage
      - /media/element:/usb_element
      - /media/sssd_1:/sssd_1

      UPLOAD_LOCATION: /usb_element/photos
      REDIS_HOSTNAME: redis
      REDIS_PASSWORD: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
      TYPESENSE_API_KEY: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      TYPESENSE_HOST: typesense
    volumes:
      - ${DOCKERCONFDIR}/immich:/data
      - ${DOCKERSTORAGEDIR}:/storage
      - /media/element:/usb_element
      - /media/sssd_1:/sssd_1

and when I go into the container I can see the folder (screenshot) plus I can see the photos folder

root@1d13e0d7153b:/usb_element# ls -lah
total 4.0K
drwxrwxr-x 3 node node   20 Aug 14 19:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.0K Aug 15 14:10 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 node node    6 Aug 14 19:40 photos

root@1d13e0d7153b:/usb_element# ls -lah
total 4.0K
drwxrwxr-x 3 node node   20 Aug 14 19:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.0K Aug 15 14:10 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 node node    6 Aug 14 19:40 photos

Any thoughts as to what I am missing? when I try uploading a file i am honestly not sure where it is putting it, and when I login to the Immich interface, under storage it is only showing the 100GB of free space, not the 15TB drive I have

Are you using AIO image?

No, I am using a docker compose file, not the AIO

Can you post your full docker-compose file? the app look for the internal path at /usr/src/app/upload/

version: "3.4" # this must match the version in docker-compose.yml ...

if it is looking for that path, how do I mount that path to my external drive?

in the original docker-compose file, you can see ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload the UPLOAD_LOCATION is read from the .env file so you should keep the volumes section in your compose file and then it will work what is the reasion to modify all the servcies in the original compose file? We set it up so that it is plug-and-play system changing it might cause issue down the road and harder to troubleshoot issues if you run into any

OK, i will play with that. I am using a system called DockStarter, https://github.com/GhostWriters/DockSTARTer which helps manage all of my applications. the way to add new apps is to use the docker-compose.override.yml file

UPLOAD_LOCATION is an environment variable that is only used for the compose file itself. It is not meant to be passed to the containers as a value. It dynamically generates the volume: ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload. You don't have to use it, but you will need to add the volume to the containers yourself via /storage/element/photos:/usr/src/app/upload
