Immich - Change "library" Dataset/location/path

Is it possible to have the Immish “library” (i.e. where my images are actually stored) in a dataset that is not under the “Immich” dataset?

My immich setup works fine when I have all the datasets set up under an “immich” dataset, which is under an “Apps” dataset (i.e. it’s where I install all my app data). I followed this the Immich instructions for TrueNAS for the datasets but I cannot add a link.

However, this is not where I want to store my images, I want those under an “Image Archive” dataset that is at the same level, and not under the “Apps” dataset.

The reason is that I want to offload my Apps dataset to another pool on an SSD but keep the immich library on my spinning disk pool.

I found “custom locations” guide on the immich website (again, I cannot include the linkhere) but I don’t understand it at all (I’m quite new to this) and also assume it is not specific to TrueNAS.

It seems like I should just create a different dataset for the library and apply that location host path when installing the app but the app then has trouble deploying and the web GUI does not work.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, it is a case of just pointing to the correct dataset using the host path option when installing the app in the TrueNAS GUI. The mistake I made was trying to apply the new folder location after I had installed the app and set it up with the dataset Apps/Immich/library. You must setup the folders first and then do a fresh install.
