Deploying Immich with CasaOS¶

Installing CasaOS in Ubuntu¶

The app data for immich resides in /DATA/AppData/big-bear-immich.

In here we have the pgdata folder and upload folder.

If you want to map a NAS to store your immich assets, you can mount your network drive.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install cifs-utils

sudo mkdir /mnt/smb_share

sudo mount -t cifs //server_ip/share /mnt/smb_share -o username=your_username,password=your_password

For me this would be

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.4.142/raid /mnt/smb_share -o username=thomas,password=<password>

Let's say we want to change the upload location

mv -v /DATA/AppData/big-bear-immich/upload /home/thomas/

Then change the environmental variable in immich.

I could have also mounted the upload location to my smb network drive.

mv -v /home/thomas/upload /mnt/smb_share/casaos/immich

If I wanted to copy a folder from one location to another (i.e. backup), I can do

cp -r /source/path /destination/path
