Yes, that's exactly the issue, and you’re right—I should have looked for the file on the host.
As expected, it’s not showing up. I’ll go ahead and try this with a VM instead. I’m very excited to have this working properly!
Cheers!

I couldnt run that command on the host, because I have installed docker on a privileged container. I see now, that that might have further complicated things for me. So I should just go with a VM, intsall docker there and proceed with the usual steps. Would that be your suggestion at this point?
And again, thank you.

Thank you for your response, Zeus!
Yes, I am running it in an LXC. I had no idea that a VM would have been a better option. I’ve put quite a lot of energy into this setup, and while I don’t mind starting over to rebuild everything, it would be great if we could make it work within the current setup as well.
Good news: your command worked! (You can see it’s been a busy construction site with all the test files there. 😄)

Troubleshooting Steps
Verified permissions:
ls -ld /mnt/matkopool/ImmichUploads
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 7 Jan 26 16:23 /mnt/matkopool/ImmichUploads
Tried creating test files on both the host and container:
On host: /mnt/matkopool/ImmichUploads
On container: /usr/src/app/upload
Files don’t sync between host and container.
Uninstalled AppArmor to rule out restrictions.
Re-created the container with fresh mounts and configurations.
