Postgres volume cannot be on external SSD but the Immich library yes.
Hi,
I recently got a Mac Mini M1 and starting to play with OrbStack. I thought why not trying to run Immich and see if I can restore the exact other Immich I have on my Proxmox server.
I wanted to have an external SSD which I could use to store all the Immich data, included the database data.
Well after a day of troubleshooting I got it working and have a perfect copy of the "original" but with one hicchup, postgres can't be in the SSD.
The error I got is something like this: "FATAL: could not create file "base/13779/._1255": File exists". I followed the backup and restore documentation but couldn't figure out the problem.
So as I said it's working with postgres sitting in the same directory of compose file and the library happily sitting in the SSD.
Shared the two locations in the .env file, these are the only two things I've changed.
Anyone could know why?
Thanks
