Hi All,
I am the proud owner of a new Umbrel Pro device that I equipped with four 4TB SSDs.
My objective, is to use this Umbrel Pro to host all of my photo albums that are currently stored on a Synology NAS.
I read good things about Immich, so want to use this to replace Synology Photos which I currently use.
So, I in the default Photos folder on the Umbrel, I created a subfolder Albums. In this subfolder Albums I created a subfolder Christmas 2025 and copied the contents of the same named Christmas 2025 folder on my Synology NAS to this folder on the Umbrel. So using the Files app on the Umbrel Pro and browsing to \Photos\Albums\Christmas 2025 I can see all photos there. So far so good.
Then I installed Immich from the Umbrel App Store and went through the initial setup steps.
In Immich, I then clicked on Add External Library where I need to enter a path (there is no browse option). I tried \Photos\Albums, \Photos\Albums\Christmas 2025 (also with forward slashes instead of back slashes) to no avail.
I’m sure in this community, there must be many happy Immich end users that, like me, installed it on their Umbrel Home of Umbrel Pro device that ran into the same challenge.
Can anyone please tell me what path I need to enter in the Add Folder question in Immich when wanting to add an External Library? Help is much appreciated!
