Correct way to bulk import & library mounting
First time using immich, looks awesome. So far only uploaded photos from mobile via the app.
I am wondering, what is the correct/best way to bulk import my existing library? It is stored in a folder on my Synology, previously managed by Synology Photos.
Also, I'd like to check if the way I am using the storage is safe. I am using the same Synology as the storage for the immich data, by mounting an NFS share to /opt/docker/immich/library
Here is the excerpt from the fstab: 10.2.7.5:/volume1/photos /opt/docker/immich/library nfs4 vers=4.1,_netdev,auto,nofail,noatime,async,rsize=262144,wsize=262144 0 0
And relevant lines from .env
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/opt/docker/immich/library
DB_DATA_LOCATION=/opt/docker/immich/postgres
If I understand what I have done correctly, the database is still stored on the docker host/container, but the library files are stored on the NAS.
I can see Immich shows the full 10.5TiB of the NAS inside the web UI.
Please let me know if this is unsafe or incorrect. Thank you!
