Can't start Docker when external library isn't connected

Hi everyone,
I have some pictures on my laptop, which will eventually form my library, and a lot of old pictures on an external hard-drive, which I imported as an external library.
However, I note that, when the external hard-drive is not connected, I cannot start Immich via Docker.
I was kind of hoping that I would still be able to browse my pictures even when the external hard-drive is not connected.
Am I doing this wrong?
