Setup has been a Nightmare
It might be best to delete the PostgreSQL database and start from scratch, to avoid bringing through anything that may have been misconfigured there. Only delete it if it isn't shared by other services, or was put into some shared folder. It should be entirely on its own.

Your /usr/src/app/upload volume should point to a new location just for immich (default being the ${UPLOAD_LOCATION} environment variable) . This is where files uploaded to immich get stored, and existing files are ignored.
For existing files, you should add a second volume mount to you Plex photos, then, in the Immich app, add an external library. External libraries are for accessing separate files that aren't added/controlled by Immich

Hmm, this might be better to open as a separate issue/bug report to get more eyes on it. I'm not sure how the keys are created and handled, but duplicates during an import sounds like problem.

Check immich logs to see if it had any issues?

I checked and it looks like the url entered during setup is only used if the externalDomain setting isn't set in the immich config.
I wonder if this could be due to a deeper issue like the config not loading in correctly or something? Unfortunately I don't have much experience with flutter/mobile development, so I won't be super useful with trying to replicate the issue

So when creating the link, the address it gives you is whatever you entered when setting up the mobile app, in this case a local ip? But viewing that same link on the links page is the domain name set in the server settings?

More of a Band-Aid solution, but if you happen to use a DNS adblocker like adguard home/pi-hole, you could add a DNS rewrite so on your lan it jumps directly to your immich instance even when using your domain name.

Shared links on the mobile app are on the library tab->shared links.
As for the link url, you've set the server address under administration->settings->server settings?

Glad it all worked out! Did it create the albums and such for you as well?

Do you have apikey set?
Also is "ApplePhotosExport:2024" a directory? Or should that ":" be "/" instead?

Hopefully all finished soon! Photos seem to be exporting correctly though, with correct metadata?

Admin and User scenario.
I'm assuming you're scenario only works by restricting write permissions on the other instance?
Photoprism's recommendation is multi-instances only when you want separate libraries for multiple people.
Regardless, Photoprism has view only multi-user support.

I also use Photoprism and don't understand what you're doing with 2 instances using the same database lol.
But yeah, the 2 have very different philosophies to multi-user/sharing

Ah right. Apart from that, it'd do the trick if I'm understanding correctly. Perhaps in the future, with workflows, people albums would get it the rest of the way.

I took a look at that osxphotos library. I think you could use the command below to export into a year/month/photo.jpg structure, preserving the date. I've added the --dry-run option which will only process the files, but won't actually export them, as a test.
I'd recommend installing exiftool (https://exiftool.org/) and adding the --exiftool flag in order to preserve more metadata like like location, description, etc. You might have to set the --exiftool-path /path/to/exiftool if it can't find it after installing.
It might even work to, after importing using immich-go, export again but change the directory flag to use album names (--directory "{folder_album}"), then import again and it might create the albums for you.
Keep in mind this is not at all tested by me as I don't have a Mac. Osxphotos has a tutorial section on their github that explains in great details what most of the different options do, with examples.
osxphotos export /path/to/export/dir --directory "{created.year}/{created.month}" --touch-file --dry-run
