I have a complete file structure with years on years worth of photos and videos. I’ve learned you can add an external library to Immich and it’ll scan the pics you have there, but is it possible for it to scan recursivley?

for example i give the path “/mnt/drive” and immich can find “/mnt/drive/cat/picture.jpeg”. is this possible?

    i double checken permissions and when i set its path to “/mnt/drive/cat” it can find every pic in there. but as mentioned when i set the path to “/mnt/drive” it cannot look into the folders i have on /drive. is there a setting i need to enable or something?

      Are you running it in docker? If so, did you bind the mount properly? Exec into sh in the container and manually test the folder.

      If not docker, su to the immich user and test the same thing.

        i dont think its in docker. i run it as an app in truenas. and it does have the permissions to all folders in the main folder
