multiple volumes or s3 buckets
Hey,
I would like to store large amount of content on my immich service, but have smaller disk sizes on my k8s nodes. Can I attach multiple volumes (lets say 3 1TB volumes instead of 1 3TB volume) under the immich pod? Or add minio S3 buckets besides the main storage volume?
Thanks for the ideas

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.Immich only supports docker volumes/mount points , not S3. In theory you can mount the library folder of different users to different devices, but this would all have to be handled manually by the admin
You can use S3 but you have to handle mounting it on the host system. Immich isn’t optimized for object storage and the reads will be pretty high. At least 3-4x for each object just for ingest, currently
So separate users have separate folders (which will change very infrequently) that sounds a workable solution
If you setup the storage template, yes.
If I can skip S3 that would be better.
Thanks for the help, in the next week I think I'll start with the PoC on this. And if successful migrate from nextcloud. After the bloated PHP stuff, Immich is godsend 😄
