unable to install immich on a non.ubuntu home folder
Hello. i have troube to successfully execute docker compose up -d. I get .env: permission denied. I guess the problem is my UPLOAD_LOCATION=. When i taget my home folder the installation process works but if i point at at my 2nd hdd than i get the permission denied message. So there is a permission issue...can someone point me in the right direction...many thanks in advance

YOu don't need to change this one
you can revert it back to the default and it will work
i´ll give it a try
thanks
ah wait, sorry I didn't read the message carefully
well change those two values to the default one anyway
You have mount your hdd to
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/media/MEDIA/config/immich/uploads, correct?yyes i did
i created all files an folders as root
but not sure how to fix the permission issue with .env
You you use
root user and create a folder, in it you put docker-compose and .env there, correct?
then when you run docker-compose up, it doesn't work?yes
ok, maybe try this, create a new folder, then download the new docker-compose and .env, then put in that folder
in .env, change the UPLOAD_LOCATION to the desired location on your hdd then try docker-compose up again
nope same result
could i install it in the home flolder and change the upload folder later, when immich is setup?
That should be fine
I am not sure what is going on with the server permission here
