Portainer and NFS share configuration
I am really struggling with configuring Immich to upload and store files on my qnap NAS. I have configured the volume in portainer but have no idea what the path should be for the uploads to point there. Can someone point me to a good tutorial on this configuration?

If the volume is in portainer, you need to add it to the compose
So at the bottom of the immich stack you have:
Change that to
And then instead of
${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload you'll want whateveryourvolumeisnamed:/usr/src/app/uploadThis is helpful! Do I need to update the environmental variables with the value of the portainer volume?
Here is the error when trying to deploy: Failed to deploy a stack: validating /data/compose/43/docker-compose.yml: volumes.model-cache Additional property qnapimmich is not allowed
This means you didn't put it on the right lines or made a typo with ":" or whatever
YAML is indentation-sensitive
You need exactly 2 spaces before
qnapimmich and you need a : after
so
That solved my first problem.. I am still having problems with the ount of the share. Here is the error: Container immich_server Starting Error response from daemon: error while mounting volume '/var/lib/docker/volumes/qnapimmich/_data': failed to mount local volume: mount :/Proxmox/Immich:/var/lib/docker/volumes/qnapimmich/_data, flags: 0x400, data: addr=192.168.50.12,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,tcp,timeo=14,nfsvers=4: operation not permitted
It's a permission issue but I wonder which one
Agree. I am testing permissions on the hos tfirst
If I had to guess you're missing read/mount permissions on the volume side, is the network share open to anyone?
I did open up to the subnet.. i am trying to mount the share on the host and having errors. Assuming once I can confirm it will mount on the host it should work within docker
So i have moved away from Portainer and trying to get this to work on an ubuntu VM. Here are the mounts in my ubuntu VM. ANY help would be appreciated
I AM TRYING TO GET MY UPLOADS TO GO TO MEDIA/QNAP
And is the root user on your VM able to create files on the network share? What do the immich logs say?
Figured it out. I could mount the drive on a separate Ubuntu VM. Ultimately figured out my Proxmox lxc was not allowing NFS as it was non privileged.
