Hi guys! I’m going at my first docker attempt…and I’m going in Proxmox. I created an LXC container, from which I installed docker, and portainer. Portainer seems happy to work, and shows its admin page on port 9443 correctly. I tried next running the image of immich, following the steps detailed in their own guide. This…doesn’t seem to open the admin website on port 2283. But then again, it seems to run in its own docker internal network (172.16.0.x). How should I reach immich admin page from another computer in the same network? I’m new to Docker, so I’m not sure how are images supposed to communicate within the normal computer network…Thanks!
Thanks…I did follow their guide, step by step. The only thing that I customized was the immich uploads folder, which I want it to go to my NAS. I have it set up on an NFS mount handled by proxmox, and then it’s just a transparent bind mount in the LXC. The user in the lxc container has read/write access to this location, and docker runs on this same user. But I reckon I’m addressing this in docker in a horribly messed way, as I’ve never used it before. Checking the docker logs immich_server, I’m getting this:

Let’s see… So let’s say my LXC container has a /mnt/NAS-immich-folder path, already mounted and with rw permissions. Then I edited my docker-compose.yml volumes line as follows:
# The location where your uploaded files are stored
UPLOAD_LOCATION=/media/immich
…I’m sure I’m doing something horribly wrong besides the no-no of docker over LXC…Is there anything messed in these paths? What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much!
I can also see that there’s a specific tutorial on how to set it up with portainer. In that case you might have to edit the docker compose file to replace .env with stack.env and place the contents of the env file in the advanced-> environment variables of portainer.
Try these things and ask here again if you can’t get it running.
Wow thanks! Let me take a look, I missed the portainer part!
Sigh…I followed through the instructions. I deleted the previous stack, and created a new one, this time all the way from portainer. This time I ONLY modified the .env file, well and according to the instructions the .yaml referring to the .env as stack.env now. Made it deploy…and nothing. Still getting the same mkdir error :(
Thanks! Seems more about how to properly map a local host path/mount on docker. For which I’m completely noob…I think this is where I’m failing right now.

Ah! now I see the problem
It’s clearly having permission problems with the image library directory.
Also:
with this command you are trying to mount this directory from your LXC machine:
into this directory inside the immich container:
And then you also try to mount a second directory there in the next line. But immich doesn’t use /mnt/immich for its library, it uses this:
You should NOT edit the default docker-compose.yml file. Instead you should only edit the .env file like so:

Might be some NFS permissions problem, can you try some other temp directory with say 777 permissions to see if it’s that?
