Description of Evironment Variables not clear
Hello,
I am trying to set up my Immich Intalltion so that all my photos and settings are on my NAS and I can back up these things specifically. I have three questions on how to do the configuration correctly:
I have the following entries in stack.env:
---------------------
PHOTO_LOCATION=/mnt/media/photo
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/mnt/media/photo/immich
THUMB_LOCATION=/mnt/media/photo/immich/thumbs
ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION=/mnt/media/photo/immich/encoded-video
PROFILE_LOCATION=/mnt/media/photo/immich/profile
BACKUP_LOCATION=/mnt/backups/immich
---------------------
In the docker-compose.yml I still have these settings:
--------------------

BACKUP_LOCATION=/mnt/backups/immich

In the docker-compose.yml I still have these settings:
--------------------
- ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
- ${THUMB_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/thumbs
- ${ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/encoded-video
- ${PROFILE_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/profile
- ${BACKUP_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/backups
- ${PHOTO_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/photo
---------------------
- what do the environment variables actually mean? Are they also used elsewhere in immich? Or can I use my own name?
- how are the mount commands for the volumes (- ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload) to be interpreted? At the front is the directory as it is mounted in Docker, but at the back ....?
- further folders appear on my NAS after starting immich, which are created but are empty (dump, images/ private). WHERE do they come from and how can I
