Hopefully I’m posting this in the right place. I’m planning on using immich for selfhosted photo storage. I’m a bit worried that I may lose all my photos if my drive fails, so I’m planning on running two hdd’s in raid 1 in addition to my nvme that I’m running my OS on.

I couldn’t find this when I googled it, but is it possible to point immich to store data on a separate internal drive other than the one that the OS is running on?

    Yes, you can. But will you be able to keep up with their tiring update cycle that forces you to redeploy every week?

      Idk, maybe? I’m a docker noob. How hard is it to redeploy a docker container and keep my photos?

        It is not very hard. The problem is when they suddenly change an environment variable name or format, and you need to debug what is not working and why
