Recommend ENV for immich docker setup

Hi guys, I have setup immich on my OMV7 using Portainer. What would be a clean setup of upload and database path? I want all the: - app related stuff in immich/app-data, - postgress data in immich/postgress (so I can easily cleanup Immich and restart setup), - media master (original) files in immich/media so I can upload them using immich cli. What is confusing is that immich is creating own app folders inside immich/app-data which include postgress and upload folders. But then there is a separate postgress folder for the postgress container and the upload path doesn't seem to be raleted with Immich/app-data/upload.

app-data/upload contains same folders as app-data. Why?

You don't need these in the ML container: 
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - ${ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/encoded-video
      - ${THUMBS_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/thumbs
      - ${LIBRARY_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/library
      - ${PROFILE_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/profile
      - ${BACKUP_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/backup
      - ${MEDIA_LOCATION}:/mnt/media:ro
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - ${ENCODED_VIDEO_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/encoded-video
      - ${THUMBS_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/thumbs
      - ${LIBRARY_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/library
      - ${PROFILE_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/profile
      - ${BACKUP_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/backup
      - ${MEDIA_LOCATION}:/mnt/media:ro
Second, /usr/src/app/upload contains all subfolders, that's just how it works It will create empty folders and map them, this is a docker quirk inside of /usr/src/app/upload there will be: - /usr/src/app/upload/upload - /usr/src/app/upload/encoded-video - /usr/src/app/upload/thumbs - /usr/src/app/upload/library - /usr/src/app/upload/backup - /usr/src/app/upload/profile The upload/upload might be confusing you here.
