Struggling to find the best way to store photos for my scenario
Hi,
I am having issues trying to figure out how to store and use immich with my photos.
Currently I have all my photos/videos stored on a share on my unraid server. This share acts as a big vault for both myself and my parents to store all the photos, currently I would manually back them up via copy paste every few months.
I am now trying to use immich to simply this, I have currentely deployed immich as a docker on my unraid server with a mount mapping to the share in unraid array with all my pics ( /libraries path -> /mnt/user/HDDNAS/ , /photos path -> /mnt/user/HDDNAS/ ). I am using external libraries at the moment which does import my folders. i have set each user to every sub folder.
Nas structure:
(see pictures, inside all those folders are more smaller folders with the date of when i done the backup dump)
External libraries structure:
myself account
/libraries/phone backups/my_phone
mum account
/libraries/phone backups/mum_phone
dad account
/libraries/phone backups/dad_phone
This all seems to be working great for now as it sees all my old backups ive done over the past 10+ years.
However now ive ran into an issue where once on the immich phone app, I want to upload new pictures it would save them onto the /immich share mount thats been created for this docker container, I would like the uploads to be uploaded to the corresponding share folders on my nas instead, is this possible, are there better ways of doing this? Thank you.
Feel free to @ me and if there is anything that doesnt make sense please do let me know!
