Can't get my Upload Library to the right NFS share

Going to drop this here for anyone else that stumbles into the same issue. The following worked for me, based on this comment from Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/portainer/comments/170vu05/comment/k3w0nzb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

It is actually pretty easy:

Install NFS and connect the NAS to the OS (VM hosting docker):

    sudo apt install nfs-common

    sudo mkdir -p /mnt/somedir

    sudo mount 192.168.1.xxx:/volume1/somedir /mnt/somedir

    sudo nano /etc/fstab

    192.168.1.xxx:/volume1/somedir /mnt/somedir nfs defaults 0 0

Now you can use /mnt/somedir in your docker containers (as volumes) and the data will be stored in your NAS.

Also remember to enable NFS in DSM and allow the IP of the OS.

Can't get my Upload Library to the right NFS share

The solution I am going to try is mounting the NFS directly to the Ubuntu server host within the /mnt/ folder, and then directing the Immich Stack to that instead.

Confirmed the issue is Portainer Stacks don't allow for Volumes to be mounteded. Only through containers.

Ya, I'm going to look at how to reference portainer volumes. That could very well be it.

hmm mmk. I guess, aside from the Volume issue, it sounds like I'm putting it into the Immich .env right :/

Can't get my Upload Library to the right NFS share

I've mounted the NFS into portainer though, should that not do the same? The point was that I don't want to give my proxmox instance access to the NFS, only Immich.

External Libraries Error for Invalid Volume Specification.

  - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /mnt/immich/library/3-SocialMedia:ro

  - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /mnt/immich/library/3-SocialMedia:ro

From my copy above. I followed the example under Mount Docker Volumes, added the ro flag at the end to make sure its read only. But now when I docker compose upI get the error message. I can't even get to the next step.

Ya, thats literally the doc I was following. I'm missing something but I don't understand what it is.

As far as I can tell I am using an absolute path.I'm not sure where the extra :rw is coming from in the error message either.
