[FR] Specify multiple root paths #6

Hi!

Do you think it would be possible to support inputting multiple root paths ? I'm currently running multiple containers on a swarm cron planning for this.

Thanks.

Salvoxia commented 5 months ago

Absolutely. However, we need to consider what happens if the same folder name is found in different root paths. The most straight-forward behavior would be to simply put all images from all root paths in the same album. Is that what you would expect as well?

fl4shback commented 5 months ago

For my case, I don't have duplicate folder names in the different root folders but I guess It would be expected to reuse the same album, yes.

Implementation is done. Depending on how you use the script you can:

add additional root paths using -r or --root-path when calling the python script like so:
```
python ./immich_folder_album_creator.py -r /another/root/path /my/default/root/path http://immich_server:3001/api myApiKey
```
- List all root paths as a comma separated list in the environment variable ROOT_PATH of the Docker container (make sure to pull the latest image) like so: -e ROOT_PATH=/my/default/root/path,/another/root/path

Worked as expected in my tests. If you can confirm this for you as well, I'll finish by updating the documentation and tag a new release with this.
