thats in portainer right?
i used that to set this up
all of my file systems i made are on my 4tb set though?
OpenMediaVault usually mounts the file systems created with the OMV UI in
/srv/disk-id
You can log-in using SSH to ls
the srv directory and find the disk ID
Or use WinSCP to preview it visuallywhat is the command to do that?
im sorry my knowledge is very VERY limitted
Do you have SSH set up?
Or how did you install docker and portainer?
i did docker through my SSH yes
the windows termial thing

Hmm ok, shared folders? Do you need shared folders for immich?
i dont know i was following a youtube guide lmfao ðŸ˜

i do think he was setting up a wiki thing
so maybe thats why
do i have to change any of the lines in the web editor?
You will have to change these values
how do i figure out what to change them to?
Are you logged in using SSH in the terminal right now?
yes
ok, do:
ls /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2026aab3-0707-4dc7-816a-1b51d767d405/data
and show the outputno output at all
screenshot please

what about if you do:
ls /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2026aab3-0707-4dc7-816a-1b51d767d405
data folder seems to be empty, that's alright
can you do:
mkdir -p /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2026aab3-0707-4dc7-816a-1b51d767d405/immich/library
and also
mkdir -p /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2026aab3-0707-4dc7-816a-1b51d767d405/immich/postgres


Oops sorry
Try now
I changed the command a bit


And with -p?
Now it should create the folders successfully

Then in here:
set the
UPLOAD_LOCATION
value to:
/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2026aab3-0707-4dc7-816a-1b51d767d405/immich/library
and set DB_DATA_LOCATION
to
/srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-2026aab3-0707-4dc7-816a-1b51d767d405/immich/postgres
Finally, restart the compose
