Installing Immich in TrueNas
Hi this is the first time I install Immich, Im following the TrueNAS Community guide but the Storage Configuration says that the Old Storage Configuration (The one showed in the guide) is deprecated. How should I setup the Storage Configuration then?
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been already asked.

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:@Gorpax I have the same question...
I have been looking for some info but found nothing for now... If you find something pls tell me ^^
We don’t really know. Truenas has changed some stuff, we don’t control their deployment setup
Best to ask in their forums
@Zeus Btw, your https://immich.app/docs/install/truenas community page have old link to repo. New one is https://github.com/truenas/apps/tree/master/trains/community/immich
Thanks for catching that feel free to submit a PR to update
Asked this as question here: https://github.com/truenas/apps/discussions/2577
@GlebKh I manage to make it work, I will try to explain the best I can:
1 - Create the datasets I show in the first image (data is for all your stuff, database for the database and ml for machine learning cache)
2 - I add how I setup the storage configuration
3 - If server fails to run using this changes probably is because permissions, I used root user and it worked perfectly (I dont know if there is a better solution)
@Gorpax I wanted to keep the upload folder on SSD and library on HDD... I don't see how to do this using "new" configuration...
Hmm Im not sure about that, I have the app installed on SSD and all the media on HDD but you are right now that you point that I think database should be on SSD too
I'm newbie here but I've decided to split this way: first dataset is HDDs raid and hot-share is just SSD with no redundancy. I've planed to use backups storage to keep the backup of DB and other setting? Not sure I'll work that way... Hmm maybe the thumbs is also worth to keep on SSD.
Well... actually looking at the files the "old" datasets are created in data folder, so maybe you can manage to do what you need
Yeah they probably just merged the "old" folders into one but keeping it separated inside because this required by immich. I guess the purpose is attempt to simplify the installation but it sacrifice flexibility
is the new "encoded-video" folder the same as the old "video" folder?
think it is based on this (unless im wrong)
Im not sure sorry, this is my first time using immich
@Zeus could you step in here? They want to remove this option completely https://github.com/truenas/apps/discussions/2577
Why do we need to step in? From our POV truenas can do whatever they want. Its their product
If they do weird stuff causing issues we will just direct them to truenas and decline to provide support. This does not seem that strange though
Good. Just want to make sure it's reasonable change
where can i find the updated installation steps for truenas?
There's no doc for that yet
