Immich Server Docker Container Permission Issues

Hello,

I'm trying to run Immich Server using Docker Compose, but I'm encountering permission issues. The container is failing to read/write to the mounted volumes (/mnt/immich and ./library) due to permission errors. I've tried setting the user directive in the docker-compose.yml file to match the UID and GID of the host user, but the issue persists. It´s all setup as a Stack in Portainer. ${UPLOAD_LOCATION} is set to /mnt/immich, where the msb share is mounted in Ubuntu, on OS-Level

Error Messages:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/src/app/upload/upload/.immich'
Error: Failed to write: "<UPLOAD_LOCATION>/library/.immich - Please see https://immich.app/docs/administration/system-integrity#folder-checks for more information."

Thanks for your help 🙂
