Setting up new instance using external mounted drive on Mac
I'm trying to compose a new instance of immich using an external ssd drive on Mac.
A local path for the drive (accessible through Terminal) is /Volumes/TRANSCEND
When I specify the path in .env like this: "/Volumes/TRANSCEND/immich_data/library" and "/Volumes/TRANSCEND/immich_data/postgres" composer fails with error:
error while creating mount source path '/host_mnt/Volumes/TRANSCEND/immich_data/library': mkdir /host_mnt/Volumes/TRANSCEND/immich_data/library: no such file or directory
When I simply change the path in .env to something in the local directory (like "./immich_data/library") everything works just fine.
Why does it change the specified path to "/host_mnt..."? And how to deal with this case?
