Custom locations not respected

I'm trying to separate where immich uploads photos from the rest of the data needed to run the application, thus I've followed the instructions https://immich.app/docs/guides/custom-locations/. The problem is when I start my docker container it seems to ignore the custom locations, recreates all the subdirectories where
UPLOAD_LOCATION
UPLOAD_LOCATION
is specified, then errors because it can't find one of the
.immich
.immich
files:
