WD MyCloud NAS docker install multiple issues.
I'm trying to setup immich on my PR4100 NAS. I setup the stack in Portainer following the documentation. The issue I find is if I restart my NAS (so unexpected power outage) I lose all files and have to even redo the initial setup (Admin email etc.) I also noticed if I upload any large videos over 500mb, it causes my entire docker to crash and it won't recover unless I reboot my entire NAS. The only error I get in the logs is vm.overcommit_memory which I enabled to see if it would resolve the issue and it didn't work.
Has anyone gotten this to work on a Mycloud NAS? (I've done a lot of googling and haven't found anything along with using the search feature in this discord.)
No changes were made to docker-compose.yml or example.env other than exactly what was specified in the install instruction (stack.env and I only set a password for the DB. I did try changing locations, but yield the same results.)
Docker version 20.10.14.
Portainer community edition 2.19.4
Mycloud version 5.29.102.

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:Likely you’re using the cache drive to store the database, which is getting reset
How much RAM do you have?
That's kind of what I thought was happening, but I have another container and was monitoring my ram usage as well while I let the transfer go. 4GB of ram and I never went above 25% usage while doing a transfer.
My other container is for a plex usage monitor and all the data has been retained.
That’s probably the cause of the crashes. 4GB is on the edge of doable for immich
I find it hard to believe immich runs with only 1GB ram (25%) so I’m not sure of your system stats
Well for the file transfer, I could agree. But what about when I restart? I have also done a test where I do not crash the server. I upload say 5-10 pictures which is around 10mb in size total. I leave it alone for a bit and then I reboot my NAS. Same result happens where the photos are gone and I'm forced to do the inital setup.
The restart is related to the cache drive
Your DB_DATA_LOCATION must be ona drive that persists between reboots
I don't see why the DB_DATA_LOCATION wouldn't be by default.
I mean, Immich doesn’t have control over that
It’s however you configure it
And it's set to a persistent drive, because my tautulli data is retained.
You should post everything the bot asked for if you need help with it
I would say it’s rather likely not haha give the symptoms
Sure. Let me get some photos posted.
From your screenshots you've saved the immich_redis volume to /data instead of the immich_postgres container
the redis container is expendable, the postgres container is not
Thank you! That helped. I found where both the server/postgres were pointing to the NAS internal storage. I changed the location and was able to get everything working.
HI, I tried ton install immich on a WD PR4100 without success ... It seems versions à docker / docker compose are outdated... If anyone as encountered the same case & can help ... it would be great ...
