iCloudPD As External Library

I'm kinda struggling to get my imported library via icloudpd connected to Immich... Is this the article to do so? The new path I enter keeps crashing my Docker container (being run in Synology DSM). https://docs.immich.app/guides/external-library

I think the problem is I just don't understand the line you add after the {UPLOAD_LOCATION}. I'd say I'm pretty noobish but I'm determined to get this working. Thank you in advance!

This is the first chunk of its docker-compose.yml:
services:
  immich-server:
    container_name: immich_server
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    # extends:
    #   file: hwaccel.transcoding.yml
    #   service: cpu # set to one of [nvenc, quicksync, rkmpp, vaapi, vaapi-wsl] for accelerated transcoding
    volumes:
      # Do not edit the next line. If you want to change the media storage location on your system, edit the value of UPLOAD_LOCATION in the .env file
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /volume1/homes/MrNicholas/icloudpd_backup:/volume1/homes/MrNicholas/icloudpd_backup
    env_file:
      - .env


Here's a relevant snippet from my .env:
# The location where your uploaded files are stored
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/volume1/homes/MrNicholas/immich-backup

# The location where your database files are stored. Network shares are not supported for the database
DB_DATA_LOCATION=/volume1/docker/immich-app/postgres


I've also attached a screenshot of the first run's log.
