Issues with upload to immich server
Hi everyone!
I recently had to restore my proxmox server from a backup due to the boot drive failing and ever since i recovered my immich container i'm having trouble uploading media to the server.
Here's my current setup: I have truenas installed on proxmox with a folder mounted via smb to the proxmox server. I then pass this mount point through to the immich container
Fstab config:
When i start a backup on my phone, immich server shows these errors in the docker terminal when trying to upload media:
I'm able to read/write in the lxc and also in the docker container so i dont think it's a permissions issue, but im having trouble debugging this error message.
If anyone has any ideas i would really appreciate it!

Hello, are you using LXC?
Ah, yes you are. We don’t support LXC and proxmox doesn’t support docker in LXC either
Some people here do use it, but we don’t officially provide support
Switching to NFS may help
You should also consider mounting the share within the LXC instead of on the host with passthrough
yea my current setup is a bit redundant. do you think the issue is with permissions?
also how would you recommend i use immich through proxmox if not through a lxc?
You should make a VM (Debian or Ubuntu is good), install docker, then install immich
and then i should directly mount the smb server to that vm? would that fix the issue im running into?
I think so. Other people use samba for the storage backend
I use NFS but samba should work
curious, is there a reason why lxc's arent supported but vm's are? My lxc setup was working flawlessly up until last week
Our opinion is that if proxmox goes out of their way to say it’s not a great idea, we aren’t going to use our limited support resources with the super edge cases
docker in LXC tends to work and then it catastrophically fails suddenly
fair enough. so when installing immich on the vm i would basically copy my current docker compose file and everything should work? is there a way to transfer all my configs (users etc.) that i currently have?
tysm!
