Unraid install - missing files (or incorrect volume mapping?)
Hi,
I've installed Immich via the Unraid/Docker-Compose-manager guide method. When I first run it, I noticed the storage size is wrong. I think it's reporting storage inside the server container, but I don't understand why it didn't map correctly to the unraid share that I setup. I've tried taking it down (deleting all the associated volumes) and reinstalling, but with the same result. I assume I'm missing something simple. Any help appreciated!
Thanks

I did try uploading a couple of photos, and they do not show up in the unraid share folder.
What does your environment file look like?
You can find documentation for all the supported env variables at https://immich.app/docs/install/environment-variables
The location where your uploaded files are stored
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/1_Unraid_Shares/Immich
The Immich version to use. You can pin this to a specific version like "v1.71.0"
IMMICH_VERSION=release
Connection secrets for postgres and typesense. You should change these to random passwords
TYPESENSE_API_KEY=some-random-text
DB_PASSWORD=postgres
The values below this line do not need to be changed
###################################################################################
DB_HOSTNAME=immich_postgres
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_DATABASE_NAME=immich
REDIS_HOSTNAME=immich_redis
Environment Variables | Immich
To change environment variables, you must recreate the Immich containers.
(sorry, tried single quoting...)
/1_Unraid_Shares/Immich
Unless you're running a very unusual unraid setup, that doesn't seem like a correct share pathThat is the path structure that was suggested by one of the unraid setup guides (SpaceInvaderOne ?). It just keeps shares more organized, I think.
Which setup guide are you talking about ?
your path is not a valid share path
for unraid it should start with
/mnt/userOh I see. Yes, when I view the share in the unraid it is /mnt/user/Immich/
I assumed the path in the krusader browser was the correct one
I'm referring to this guy's channel
YouTube
Spaceinvader One
This channel makes useful step-by-step computing related tutorials. Covering Unraid and home servers, Linux, pfSense, Proxmox, Windows and MacOS.
he's all over the unraid forums
That's the path you should use then
Thanks for the clarification, I'll give it a try
Ok, It's now showing 1tb free, which is the size of the cache. Is that expected behavior?
You didn't create the share first in the Unraid UI ?
I did
Do you have a secondary storage ?
and is the primary storage set to your cache ?
It is set Yes to use the cache pool
is that a Not recommended?
Yes so it's the expected behavior
There's no specific recommendation
SSD are cheap nowadays and my library is quiet small so I store my pictures and videos on my ssd
But it's maybe not your case
It's up to you !
Thanks everyone for the help!
