[Truenas] Failed to read upload/library/.immich: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory
Hello,
I am trying to install immich where the libary folder is setup as an SMB share.
Unfortunately it is not starting up with the mentioned error message.
I followed the userguide at https://immich.app/docs/install/truenas and gave the libary dataset ACL Type SMB/NFSv4 with ACL mode Passthrough. All other datasets have POSIX permissions though.
My env looks like this
SSD pool /apps
- immich/machinelearning
- immich/postgres
- immich/profiledata
- immich/thumbs
HDD pool
- photos --> = libary
- immich/upload
- immich/backup
- immich/video
Log output:

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.Forgott to add the Version:
App Version:v1.132.3
Version:v1.7.44
Pretty sure its a permission problem.
the libary folder has owner root/root, SMB sharing was disabled before install.
Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:
Did you read the link from the error message?
Yes. I should have mentioned that this is a reinstall, and I had another folder configured as libary before. But, this error message pops up when its trying to deploy the (re)installation, so imho the .-immich file was never written to that dataset.
The dataset of the old installation for testing was "photos2"... now its just "photos".
My guess is you're still using the database from the previous install
Hmm, shouldnt that delete when I delete the app with 'delete images' ticked?
idk I don't use truenas
I will uninstall and delete the folder contents manually to be sure
Well there is still data in there...
Welp, seems like the database not being wiped was the problem. Thanks for your help.
