This guide explains storing generated and raw files with docker's volume mount in different locations.

:::caution Backup
It is important to remember to update the backup settings after following the guide to back up the new backup paths if using automatic backup tools, especially `profile/`.

:::note
Because of the underlying properties of docker bind mounts, it is not recommended to mount the `upload/` and `library/` folders as separate bind mounts if they are on the same device.
For this reason, we mount the HDD or network storage to `/usr/src/app/upload` and then mount the folders we want quick access to below this folder.
For this reason, we mount the HDD or the network storage (NAS) to `/usr/src/app/upload` and then mount the folders we want to access under that folder.
The `thumbs/` folder contains both the small thumbnails shown in the timeline, and the larger previews shown when clicking into an image. These cannot be split up.

The storage metrics of the Immich server will track the storage available at `UPLOAD_LOCATION`,
so the administrator should setup some kind of monitoring to make sure the SSD does not run out of space. The `profile/` folder is much smaller, typically less than 1 MB.
