Unable to import external libraries

[bloodyburger]

Installed docker and started immich via docker compose. Mounted external library which is mounted via rclone in host machine. I can see the files inside immich docker at /import but when I add them in UI doesn't recognise any files.

services:
  immich-server:
    container_name: immich_server
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    command: [ "start.sh", "immich" ]
    volumes:
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /mnt/hh10tb/od1:/import
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    env_file:
      - .env
    ports:
      - 2283:3001
    depends_on:
      - redis
 #     - database
      - typesense
    restart: always

  immich-microservices:
    container_name: immich_microservices
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    # extends:
    #   file: hwaccel.yml
    #   service: hwaccel
    command: [ "start.sh", "microservices" ]
    volumes:
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/usr/src/app/upload
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /mnt/hh10tb/od1:/import
    env_file:
      - .env
    depends_on:
      - redis
 #     - database
      - typesense
    restart: always

I have added the path /import in admin settings and using the same path in profile page as well. What am I missing?

Make sure you have the correct permissions

[bloodyburger]

I am able to see the files within immich docker, does that not tell the permissions are ok? or do I have to check anything else?

[martabal]

Nope, it does not mean your permissions are ok. Set the same permissions for /import as the files in /photos

[bloodyburger]

I do not see any /photos

[martabal]

Oh wait, I just realized, you're not using the AIO image; I don't think it's a permission issue then. Did you correctly follow the instructions in the README ?

[bloodyburger]

you may be right, I used the docker-compose from official site, let me try replacing with this one.

[bloodyburger]

I used the below docker-compose but why am I seeing no migrations found. I do not see any database created as well.

I'm using SWAG to reverse proxy to this container

[martabal]

Yeah don't worry with what comes before the logo, the important part is what's after User GID: 1000. Everything looks good to me, is it working for you ?

[bloodyburger]

I know something is silly but can't get my mind to figure it out right now

2023/12/11 18:29:14 [error] 831#831: *1096 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 1.2.3.4, server: immich.*, request: "GET / HTTP/2.0", upstream: "http://172.18.0.24:8080/502.html", host: "immich.x.y"```

[martabal]

Can you try without your reverse proxy, directly with the ip address and port ?

[bloodyburger]

I tried on a new server and was able to start the server. But when I mount an external location, I do not see the message that the server started [Nest] 513 - 12/11/2023, 2:01:13 PM LOG [ImmichServer] Immich Server is listening on http://[::1]:8080 [v1.90.2] [PRODUCTION]. Does it take time if I mount an external folder with 1TB of images.

[bloodyburger]

It's the same on old server as well, if I remove the bind mount to external location, all works fine and able to access the UI once I see the message that the server is started. BUt once I add the external volume, the Immich Server doesn't start.

[martabal]

Weird, it's supposed to be instant. Make sure you use the latest docker version.

[bloodyburger]

I'm on latest and verified in 2 separate machines, it took a while to recognise the external mount which had lot of files and finally it booted. It's working now but if I restart the docker it will take 2-3 hours to start the server again.

[bloodyburger]

So it depends on the library size, I waited a bit longer and all good now.
