Question about Immich (feddit.nl)

I have a complete file structure with years on years worth of photos and videos. I've learned you can add an external library to Immich and it'll scan the pics you have there, but is it possible for it to scan recursivley?

for example i give the path "/mnt/drive" and immich can find "/mnt/drive/cat/picture.jpeg". is this possible?

Yes. It'd be pretty silly of it not to.

I just gave it my giant lightroom library.

HOW i need it

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Like you have it running and added but it's not scanning?

I can check my config later today if nobody else replies sooner.

https://docs.immich.app/features/libraries/

External libraries use import paths to determine which files to scan. Each library can have multiple import paths so that files from different locations can be added to the same library. Import paths are scanned recursively, and if a file is in multiple import paths, it will only be added once.

Have you double checked your folder permissions?

i double checken permissions and when i set its path to "/mnt/drive/cat" it can find every pic in there. but as mentioned when i set the path to "/mnt/drive" it cannot look into the folders i have on /drive. is there a setting i need to enable or something?

Are you running it in docker? If so, did you bind the mount properly? Exec into sh in the container and manually test the folder.

If not docker, su to the immich user and test the same thing.

i dont think its in docker. i run it as an app in truenas. and it does have the permissions to all folders in the main folder

Yes it's docker... Immich is only deployed via docker.

Indeed its your docker mount points / volumes.
