Best practices for install inside of proxmox.
I'm am implementing a new home server that I plan to use Proxmox as the base for running everything, including docker and a nas. I was wondering if there were any complications if I have immich have the storage be in my "nas", which both running on the same physical system, just different containers?

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.The only best practice there is, is to not run Immich in proxmox LXCs. That's not officially supported and we have seen people with extremely random issues caused by that
Best to use a full VM for immich, such as Debian or Ubuntu
Ah, okay. That makes sence. So if I run it on docker compose inside a full vm then I should be okay then (theoretically)?
Followup question: the new version of TrueNas is built on Docker and can run immich as an "app". If I install TruNas on bare metal and run immich from that, is that a supported implementation?
We still recommend just using the compose file and doing it "manually", but the result will be the same and we can debug it the same way we'd debug another install. So yeah, we may not be able to tell you which buttons to click, but overall the app should be running nicely
