Adding an external drive
Hi!
I a running Immich in Docker Desktop Portainer on Windows 11 and my photos are on an external drive (D:\Photos). I have mapped the entire D drive to a folder on the C drive (C:\Seagate_Expansion) - because I could not figure out how to add the external drive directly. I then tried to add the Photos folder to Docker Compose like this:
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}:/data
- /C/Seagate_Expansion/Photos:/C/Seagate_Expansion/Photos:ro
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
I also tried the line
- /mnt/C/Seagate_Expansion/Photos:/mnt/C/Seagate_Expansion/Photos:ro
When I add this to the import path in External library, it gets validated but no photos are added. Like the folder is empty.
What am I doing wrong??
