Delegating faster storage to the actual playback media, vs slower storage to hold original files.
🚧Setup💻Web❓Question📱Mobile🗄️Server
Hey team! New user of Immich here, so I apologize if this is a question that has been answered before, but how do we delegate faster storage to our transcoded videos and thumbnails for faster load times of media?
Issue: My transcoded videos and thumbnails load with a notable latency. I understand I could be reading too deep into this and it could be a network issue, but hoping to make this change to my configuration anyway.
Current Configuration Running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, My configuration is arranged such that my container files (e.g. compose, .env, etc) are on the boot SSD, and my upload location and library as well as encoded-videos, thumbs, etc all are set to a directory in my mounted hard drive (/mnt/drivename) via the .env vile, and the upload location is set as usr/src/app/upload in my compose file.
Question I recently lifted a 2 TB SSD from an old laptop of mine (will be mounted also in /mnt/2TBssdname), and I am hoping to repurpose it. As stated in the title, is there anyway that I can simply re-delegate each of the folders within upload location to this SSD or my boot drive per my preference? For example, from my understanding upload location is a 'temporary' directory in that after processing, uploaded files move to library (which will stay on the hard drive). For these reasons, can I change the location of where these individual folders go and on what drives, in hopes of improving performance and responsiveness?
