External library mapping issue

Hello everyone!

Nice to meet you all!

I might have a dumb question, but cant figure out...

I am on a Proxmox server, I have just installed Imitch on a VM by following all the steps described into the "Docker Compose" section of the website, including the edit of the .env file for the folder location, with /mnt/Photos. I have verified, I have access to this folder through the VM in SSH.

I can start the web UI, no issue, but we I try to map my external library by following the instructions from the website, I am facing a challenge:

- As per instructions, I have added as well the path of my local folder /mnt/Photos into the docker-compose.yml, saved, restarted my VM

-Went into the web UI, to the external library section up to the point I need to enter the /usr/src/app/external into the path, which is immediately showing "path failed verification". I have tried as well with /mnt/Photos but same path failed verification issue...

I've browsed FAQ and this Discord sections but haven't seen anything related to that, I think I must be missing something obvious... Any chance to show me the way? ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you in advance! Happy to provide more information if needed ๐Ÿ™‚
