Trying to install Immich on Asustor Nas via portainer. Why does it install into RAM?

Hi Folks, I am a complete noob and have tried to install the latest Immich (server v1.109.2) onto my Asustor AS6704T NAS (ADM 4.3.1.R752). I have no knowledge on how to use Docker or Portainer CE but I thought I had done okay following your easy guide https://immich.app/docs/install/portainer . Is it because I have Portainer CE installed on my NAS and not Portainer? Basically I have 43TB of space on the NAS but, after registering the Admin and then logging into Immich, it says I only have 7.7Gb of free space at the bottom left. When I restarted the NAS, Immich asked for the admin registration setup again and my photos were no longer there. This is why I believe it installed it in my RAM (16Gb). The only thing I didnt do in the guide was item 10 - Change DB_DATA_LOCATION to a folder where the database will be saved to disk. I have no clue what to set this to so I left it as was ie ./library
Is this the issue? I have tried to post on Asustors forum but tbh it looks quite dead and abandoned, I dont think I will get a reply there. Any help is much appreciated
