Hello, I followed the guide, but when I got to the creation of the Docker project, I was unable to validate the YML file.
If I change only what is suggested, it tells me that there is a syntax error. The AI tells me how to correct it. If I make the correction and check it, it doesn't report anything, but it won't let me save the file.
How can I proceed?
Thank you very much.

The guide was great, just one setup point I need help with. Once Immich is up and running, how do you point it at your NAS folders that contain your photos?

I tried using 'External Libraries' but I can't get the 'Path' correct. Every Path I enter is incorrect and fails validatin.... if I want to point to 'Volume1/Photos' on the Tnas, then how do you format this as a Path in Immich for an External Library

In order to see a local folder from NAS inside the docker container, you have to mount it first in docker

in the yaml file => - /Volume1/Photos:/data

(and in Immich use /data as the path to the external library)

GREAT Guide! As someone very new to docker this was amazing. Thank you!

Today I see there's a new Immich version, and I tried to follow update instructions from https://immich.app/docs/install/upgrading/ but they didn't work for me - any ideas on how to proceed?

You can use the guide https://tmnascommunity.eu/download/watchtower and setup the watchtower container.
This will update automatically all your containers (you can also skip some for monitoring).

Or you can use the manual way: stop immich project, delete all the images from immich project, edit the project, don't change anything and apply the yaml file. These steps will download the latest images.

Is Immich stable on TOS6 with ARMv8.2 devices?
He’s a force in block blast, breaking barriers one move at a time.
