If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.Did you do a
docker compose up -d
after changing it?no going to trie it (sorry I am new to this staff)
The command
docker compose up -d
does the configuration and orchestration of the containers so unless you run it, nothing happensnope made me to do Registration and still 20gb
okay
Can you show me
df -hT
on the host system?here

if you need to I just run Debia 13 and docker with Dashy
You don't actually have anything mounted on /mnt/sda
check it out with
lsblk
ouuu I see and how do I do that XD I trought i made Directory /mnt/sda and I put everything there becouse i tought i put it on the second disk
Could you
lsblk
for me pleasehere

Ok so the disk is real at least 👀
get the UUID with
blkid
If it doesn't have one you didn't even format the disk yet?command not found
B L K I D ?
no I formated it before putting it in
yep
that's impossible

what in the world xD
I don´t know ðŸ˜
Which OS is this?
Debian 13
What if you do
/usr/sbin/blkid

this pops up
ok so your $PATH is messed up
anyway
ou so what do I do reinstall or ??
no just
export PATH="$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:usr/local/sbin"
oukey done
now
blkid
should work
You see that big UUID string after /dev/sda
yep
nano /etc/fstab
Add
UUID=stringhereplease /mnt/sda ext4 defaults 0 0
save
and then mount -a
before you do that
your immich files will get wiped
so best move or copy or whateveroukeey oukey do i just put it on the end ?
Yeah under what is there already
oukeey on it

you uh
buddy
you need to actually replace that string
ou shit sorry I didn´t see it sorry

now
df -hT
?
There's your disk
If you put the compose in there it should work
is it a USB disk?
nope its HDD
so i can put everything back to the mnt/sda/ ??
yes
oukey oukey
yep thank you very much
👌
