Unraid install - missing files (or incorrect volume mapping?)

Hi,
I've installed Immich via the Unraid/Docker-Compose-manager guide method. When I first run it, I noticed the storage size is wrong. I think it's reporting storage inside the server container, but I don't understand why it didn't map correctly to the unraid share that I setup. I've tried taking it down (deleting all the associated volumes) and reinstalling, but with the same result. I assume I'm missing something simple. Any help appreciated!
Thanks

I did try uploading a couple of photos, and they do not show up in the unraid share folder.

What does your environment file look like?

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:28 PM

You can find documentation for all the supported env variables at https://immich.app/docs/install/environment-variables

The location where your uploaded files are stored

UPLOAD_LOCATION=/1_Unraid_Shares/Immich

The Immich version to use. You can pin this to a specific version like "v1.71.0"

IMMICH_VERSION=release

Connection secrets for postgres and typesense. You should change these to random passwords

TYPESENSE_API_KEY=some-random-text
DB_PASSWORD=postgres

The values below this line do not need to be changed

###################################################################################
DB_HOSTNAME=immich_postgres
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_DATABASE_NAME=immich

REDIS_HOSTNAME=immich_redis

To change environment variables, you must recreate the Immich containers.

Unless you're running a very unusual unraid setup, that doesn't seem like a correct share path

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:31 PM

That is the path structure that was suggested by one of the unraid setup guides (SpaceInvaderOne ?). It just keeps shares more organized, I think.

martabal•10/8/23, 5:32 PM

Which setup guide are you talking about ?

martabal•10/8/23, 5:32 PM

your path is not a valid share path

martabal•10/8/23, 5:33 PM

for unraid it should start with /mnt/user/mnt/user

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:34 PM

Oh I see. Yes, when I view the share in the unraid it is /mnt/user/Immich/

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:34 PM

I assumed the path in the krusader browser was the correct one

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:34 PM

I'm referring to this guy's channel

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:34 PM

he's all over the unraid forums

EEdHsieh Oh I see. Yes, when I view the share in the unraid it is /mnt/user/Immich/

bo0tzz•10/8/23, 5:34 PM

That's the path you should use then

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:34 PM

Thanks for the clarification, I'll give it a try

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:43 PM

Ok, It's now showing 1tb free, which is the size of the cache. Is that expected behavior?

martabal•10/8/23, 5:44 PM

You didn't create the share first in the Unraid UI ?

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:46 PM

I did

martabal•10/8/23, 5:46 PM

Do you have a secondary storage ?

martabal•10/8/23, 5:46 PM

and is the primary storage set to your cache ?

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:47 PM

It is set Yes to use the cache pool

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:47 PM

is that a Not recommended?

martabal•10/8/23, 5:48 PM

Yes so it's the expected behavior

martabal•10/8/23, 5:48 PM

There's no specific recommendation

martabal•10/8/23, 5:49 PM

SSD are cheap nowadays and my library is quiet small so I store my pictures and videos on my ssd

martabal•10/8/23, 5:49 PM

But it's maybe not your case

martabal•10/8/23, 5:50 PM

It's up to you !

EdHsiehOP•10/8/23, 5:54 PM

Thanks everyone for the help!
