unable to map external library (fresh install)

I reinstalled everything (proxmox 9 and immich v1.142.1). My photos are available as a network share (samba and nfs) and visible in the immich container (I can list the contents). However for neither case I cannot use the external library. For NFS, path is validated but after scanning no photos show up and nothing happens in jobs. For Samba, it doesn't validate the path. They are mapped as below in docker-compose.yml:
- /mnt/pve/qnap/Photos/_completed:/mnt/immich/photos:ro
- /mnt/pve/qnap_photos/_completed:/mnt/immich/photo2:ro
The installation method used was based on Ubuntu 24 + docker + official steps on the immich website, including updates for pve/ubuntu.
However, when installing using helper scripts, at least the NFS share works (I run into other problems though, not all photos have thumbnails).
In conclusion, i would like to install via docker and be able to map the external library via NFS which I think is faster.
Thank you!
