NVME drive for cache - am I doing it right:
please have a look on my two files:
docker compose: https://pastebin.com/RnBkGMcZ
env: https://pastebin.com/cpmSdf81
what I have done is I have added instructions from this topic :
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/2328
Am I correct assusming that following can/should be on NVME:
THUMBS_LOCATION=/mnt/apps/Immich-Cache/thumbs/
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/apps/Immich-Cache/upload/
PROFILE_LOCATION=/mnt/apps/Immich-Cache/profile/
VIDEO_LOCATION=/mnt/apps/Immich-Cache/encoded-video/
And this one one HDD:
LIBRARY_LOCATION=/mnt/user/Immich/
Can you please confirm, thanks!

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:hi @Joloxx9 that seems to be good to go
One small adjustment though
You have
LIBRARY_LOCATION=/mnt/user/Immich/ and UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/apps/Immich-Cache/upload/ confused
Try this for clarity, docker compose:
Env file:
The names can get a bit confusing.
Alternatively you can also put UPLOAD_LOCATION in the HDD like so
docker compose:
Env file:
Because you really only want videos, thumbs and profile elsewhereYou know what I made it easier as I do not want to fight with it now, however got issue,I think something is not mounted etc right, so I am using two things in ENV FILE:
UPLOAD_LOCATION /qnap/data/foty
and
DB_DATA_LOCATION /data/immich
however I am having those issues now in log from immich server

Which database is he talking about?The database,
immich_postgres container
If it works after the errors then that means the container is just simply starting upno it is not working it is jsut restarting, I am using stock docker compose and ENV, immich is running on the server and data is mounted on this server from NAS I do not know if I mounted it correctly...
funny thing when I had everything on nas it was ok
DB_DATA is on the NAS?
yes
You shouldn't network mount the database, that'll work very poorly
as we can see here
hmm
I might move back, but firstly I just want this to work
I only do not understound why it got no access to it
If you want to move your immich install, best do a backup-restore
We aren’t going to help you use a network mount for the database
In your case, just run it on the NAS, do the backup, restore the DB on your new server and mount the NAS for the images
is database that slow ven when server - nas connection is 2.5Gb?
It doesn't matter
Network postgres WILL fail
hmm I can keep imich on the nas
and the database is only a couple of GB even with very large photo libraries
at least I have removed plex etc
so - can I keep database on server(NVME) and upload location on NAS(HDD), would that work?
Yes, that's how many people do it 🙂
okay that make sence, didn't know about it, let me modify it and we will see if I got an errors
bulk storage =
UPLOAD_LOCATION/library and UPLOAD_LOCATION/upload
Fast storage = UPLOAD_LOCATION/encoded-videos UPLOAD_LOCATION/thumbs DB_DATA_LOCATION
profile is whatever, it's literally only your profile picturesAlso it’s better to not mount /library and /upload separately if you can help it, better to mount /usr/src/app/upload on the NAS and then do the thumbs etc as sub folders
This corresponds to https://discord.com/channels/979116623879368755/1320722118689689620/1320748675856728074 this setup approximately
(It's just missing DB_DATA_LOCATION)
I think I am stupid, please have a look at that:
first is on NAS(HDD), second on SSD(server)
both are mounted:
and still same error with no access, when I change access to 777 on /data/immich it changes it back to what you can see above
That’s fine, Postgres is setting the permissions
What’s the actual issue now then?
Also what’s the filesystem of that disk
ext4
issue is I constantly got this error:
Please post the DB logs
PostgreSQL Database directory appears to contain a database; Skipping initialization
2024-12-23 14:30:49.976 GMT [1] FATAL: 0 8kB is outside the valid range for parameter "shared_buffers" (16 .. 1073741823)
there is jsut that one line
ok
Why does your compose not have a command line for Postgres?
got error
I did not put my docker compose here, the one above is not what I used
I have finished with the one from github as I was setting up everything in portainer
You posted it here ?
it was my fault
Ok lol well post the new one
I changed this line
Sorry wrong
I deleted "M" by mistake lol....
Yep idk how you did that lol
I changed from 512 to 4096 and accidentally deleted M lol
anyway, working like a charm 😄
You probably shouldn’t change stuff like that
That’s a big shared buffer
you think?
I will revert them to previous values then 🙂
thanks for help
