QNAP Nas
Hi,
I have installed Immich and i tried about everything to make my Nas as a external harddrive but cant make it work.
It is istalled on a Windows 11 PC and Docker desktop is running in the background with the containers
There is no problem to use external harddrive by changing location in .env file
I am new to this so is there a step by step i can follow?
Thanks in advance 🙂

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.Docker + external drives often does not work well on windows. You could try some googling. We recommend linux
also docker desktop is not recommended at all. you may want to try installing it directly in your QNAS if it has enough RAM and you don't want to make the switch to Linux
Ok, i have a Qnap TS-563, do you know how to set it up ?
The Docker app for the Qnap OS is called Container Station. After installing this, you can use Docker however you want (copying your docker compose over and pulling it up via the cli, or via a gui like Portainer)
