hello, I need support with setting up Immich, specifically with

1) configuring external libraries and

2) having seperate folders per user for photos uploaded from a phone.

i have installed the Immich Community App (cuda version as i have an nvidia GPU) and the postgreSQL from spaceinvader

My data share is organised per Unraid/Jellyfin Trash folder structure, i.e. a single data share with nested folders for organization; i have a photo folder in the following directory /mnt/user/data/media/photo/ where i would like to have both my organised photo albums as the the photos backed up via the immach apps on the phones of my wife and myself.

I am unable to get this configured and working...

Overview of what i want to achieve:

• have my album photos (i.e. photos sorted in different folders) imported in Immich as an external library.

  • i keep my album photos in /mnt/user/data/media/photo/Albums

• have the photos uploaded (i.e. backuped) by the immich phone app in a dedicated folder for each family member. (for now that would be a folder for me and another folder for my wife)

  • i would like to have two folders in the immich folder, one for my wifes phone photo backup uploads, and one for mine:

    • /mnt/user/data/media/photo/Immich/MYNAME

    • /mnt/user/data/media/photo/Immich/MYWIFESNAME

and what should i put here as external library path? when i put the directory of the albums folder i receive an error:

all help is appreciated.

I just found out that for the external libraries i just need to write /libraries as the path.

the /libraries corresponds to the oath i have defined during the container setup, i.e. /mnt/user/data/media/photo/Albums

For the uploads from the Immich smartphone app i found out that seperate folders for myself and my wife are automatically created in the /mnt/user/data/media/photo/Immich/ directory that i defined during contianer setup, the naming and structure is however not very convenient and hence difficult to navigate.

i'll have to dig some more to find out how i can get this sorted out, but at least everything is up and running now
