Help setting up External Library

Hello all, I've come here after failing to find any instructions on how to setup a folder inside my external hard drive as a external library in Immich on macOS. I've added lines to both docker-compose and the env file but when I go to immich administration and add an external library path, the path isn't validated by Immich at all.

It would mean the world to me as I am trying to move around 500 GBs of my old google photos over to Immich. Happy to send/paste any information needed to solve this issue.

Thank you.
