store files in a different disk

can i have immich on a disk but store the library in another disk? simply telling it to do that in the .env file results in the following:

→ df -h

.env:

UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/immich/library
DB_DATA_LOCATION=/mnt/immich/postgres

UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/immich/library
DB_DATA_LOCATION=/mnt/immich/postgres

but i get the following errors and i am unable to connect(logs from immich_server)

post logs from immich_postgres too. that 10.89.1.231 ip is rather unusual

FsFsmkOP•4mo ago

It is this spammed a lot of times

immich_app → sudo podman container logs immich_postgres
chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Operation not permitted

immich_app → sudo podman container logs immich_postgres
chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/postgresql/data': Operation not permitted

Btw i am on artix openrc

ɪoɴ ⲟⲟⲧⲍ•4mo ago

there you go. chown /mnt/immich/postgres appropriately. actually you'll want to do that with everything under /mnt/immich/

FsFsmkOP•4mo ago

Appropriately being?

ɪoɴ ⲟⲟⲧⲍ•4mo ago

the user the docker process runs under

FsFsmkOP•4mo ago

Makes sense

ɪoɴ ⲟⲟⲧⲍ•4mo ago

that '/var/lib/postgresql/data' inside the container is the volume exposed at DB_DATA_LOCATION
