Automatically map External Library directories to an existing Album?
I just got started with Immich and it's great so far! However, I have an issue.
I added an External Library and the images are successfully showing up. But now, I would like to map a directory to an album, such that anything (image, video) inside that directory in the External Library gets automatically placed into a pre-made Album.
I don't need a solution that automatically creates new albums based on folder names. I don't want to create any new albums, nor upload any new images. I just wanna take existing images from an External Library, and sort them into an album based on the folder they're in. I would be manually defining the "folder name -> album name" relationships.
I've seen some community made scripts, but they seem to be focused on automatically creating new albums based on folder names, and sorting images accordingly. For example, Salvoxia/immich-folder-album-creator on GitHub. If there's a way to make this script accomplish what I need, then that would be great - but after looking through the GitHub page for a while, it doesn't seem like a good fit.
I've tried out
immich upload from the CLI, but this creates new images rather than categorizing existing ones. Immich is running in Portainer, with a bog-standard docker-compose as per Immich's Portainer guide.8 replies
