TrueNAS Scale - Fails to install immich, "failed 'up' action for 'immich' app.
TrueNAS Version:
25.04.2.5
I've been throwing my head at the wall trying to get immich to install on TrueNAS and I can't get it to work. I've created the datasets immich_photos and immich_pg, photos using the apps preset and immich_pg using generic preset. immich_photos is on my main HDD pool, while immich_pg is on my SSD pool. When I tick Automatic Permissions, I get the following error:
Checking the log, I get:
I've attempted to manually set the owner of immich_pg to netdata and group to docker, gave full permissions, same error as above. I've redone this as the truenas_admin account, and same issue.
I tried putting immich_pg into the HDD pool, and same errors above. Every single time, I always get the permissions error. I'm at a loss and tired. :(
