Not helpful, I have even just tried to mount a local drive as /mnt/e/photos and have even checked inside on the container in powershell to see if it is mounted and it’s not with exec and ls/mnt/photos

#

I even checked in wsl to ensure the files are accessible inside of /mnt/e/

#

Also check ed in bind mounts for micro services as well as Immich server and it all checks out

#

In administrative settings in edit user I have set /mnt/photos

#

Did you perform a down and up after each change?

orchid thorn
#

And in account settings under libraries I have made the external library for /mnt/photos

Wait, you're not using Windows?

orchid thorn
#

I am using windows

#

Wsl backend as per usual

If you use Windows, why is your path indicated as follows?
mnt/e/upload/

If I didn't understand you correctly, your path should start with something like
S:/path//to/my media:/mnt/media/my-media:ro

orchid thorn
#

Again confirmed /mnt/e mount is visible through wsl command

orchid thorn

That works just fine, upload a photo places it in the upload folder as per usual so that mount is working fine. As you are aware that path that you mentioned is the path for library, upload files, not the external path upload, which is configured in the YMl as per the photo on the yml

I apologize but I'm not sure I know how to help in this case.
I would suggest that you elaborate more on how your entire setup is structured (it looks like you're using WSL on top of Windows but running docker on Windows for Immich?)
After you elaborate, someone may be able to help more, it's a bit lacking in details.

Docker installs WSL by default instead of hyper v

orchid thorn
#

It’s a very basic setup, windows 11 with docker desktop, which by default installed wsl as a backend.

#

The e drive is a working drive that is mounted on the desktop. The yml file and env file are on the e drive in a folder labeled immich and clearly it’s accessing that folder as the bind mounts from the yml file are showing up in docker under bind mounts

#

The photos folder is also on the e drive, separate from the immich folder on the e drive

#

About as basic as it gets

#

Nothing fancy

#

0 error logs in docker containers as well, it’s up just fine

orchid thorn
#

Just for good measure, even tried the path the way you suggested. Still nothing

You can send your update YML file?
