proxmox lxc external storage

Hey,
i am running immich using proxmox inside a lxc. i installed immich with the community scripts( proxmox ve helepr scripts).

I want to use a external usb drive as storage for the images and videos etc... . I already have the drive mounted in proxmox and shared via mount point to the container.

How can I change the directory where immich is storing all user uploaded data to the external drive? changing the directory inside the /opt/immich/.env to a other path I have mapped to the external drive does not work as well as directly mapping the external mount path to /opt/immich/upload .

The pc I am running proxmox on does not have other storage options besides usb so I wanted to use a external usb sata drive adapter for storing all media.

I am a little bit overwhelmed since I am not running immich in a normal docker container but instead using promox for it, so possible mistakes can come from the configuration of proxmox as well from my immich config.

I would appreciate your help a lot
