Immich from file

Hello everyone,
i have a truenas network share, where all of my photos and videos are stored and i want them to be available via Immich so that i can use the face recognition for example. But i don't want to import them into immich, because then it would take up double the disk space, because it is store in Immich and on the share. I hope you understand my description. So do you know of any way so that i can basically use the files directly of of the share instead of needing to import them into Immich via the web interface?
Best Regards Ludwig
