Cannot access external library

Hello, I've just installed immich and I am trying to add an external library with some original photos. I have mapped the volumes in both server and microservices containers, added the external library from the UI but I see no photo. My container it's looking like this:

immich-server:
    container_name: immich_server
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    command: ["start.sh", "immich"]
    volumes:
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /media/Photos:/usr/src/app/Photos:ro
    env_file:
      - .env
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - database
      - typesense
    restart: always 
immich-server:
    container_name: immich_server
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    command: ["start.sh", "immich"]
    volumes:
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /media/Photos:/usr/src/app/Photos:ro
    env_file:
      - .env
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - database
      - typesense
    restart: always 


I have scanned the library. Of course I have many photos inside /media/Photos but it seems that immich cannot use it or access these files
