The bug

my web ui installed within truenas shows 256kb of usage even when 600 pictures and several 100gb videos uploaded
i saw this issue #2462 and saw it was solved? but it doesnt seem like #2560 i thought this was a fix too, but sitll not
my behavior is same as in this 2 months old reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/immich/comments/1b4ai01/real_capacity_of_immich_with_truenas/

The OS that Immich Server is running on

TrueNAS-SCALE-24.04.0

Version of Immich Server

v1.105.1

Version of Immich Mobile App

not relevant

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Your docker-compose.yml content

not sure truenas default

Your .env content

not sure

Reproduction steps

1. install truenas
2. install immich
3. issue exists

Relevant log output

No response

Additional information

with truenas i am using default ixvolumes i wonder if host path would be used if it would fix the issue

@mertalev commented on GitHub (May 19, 2024):

I think this might be a quirk of ZFS since everything is on a separate dataset. We only look at the library folder to get disk usage info, so in this case the used space is just the size of the library folder. I'm not sure what the best way to fix this would be.

idk this may sound amateurish but just getting size with du and report it to GUI? should work on zfs no ?

@mdafer commented on GitHub (May 23, 2024):

One workaround, that worked for me (using geesefs to mount S3 buckets as local storage), is to set a quota limit on your account. Eg. instead of unlimited, use 100 TB for example. This way I can now see the used storage out of the limit.

Using du could deteriorate performance pretty quickly for us (who mount different kinds of storage, especially Object stores such as minio or s3), in my case, it could take hours to traverse the whole tree and get the total size.

I haven't checked how the size is being calculated when a limit is set, and I could be mistaken, but I'm assuming that it's calculated from the meta in Immich rather than from storage as I'm pretty sure it would be much slower to do it accurately from storage in my case.

This is right. Usage is stored in the DB and updated when assets are added or deleted.

I suppose we could change to display the immich library size instead of the disk size. The latter is hard to get right since you can mount different drives for each folder, filesystems can handle usage differently, etc.

This sounds like it has been clarified/become a feature request more than an issue.

So is there a feature request created for this? Because I'd definitely argue that installing Immich on TrueNAS Scale with the official app and default settings should warrant correctly showing the amount of used space. It not displaying correctly definitely sounds like a bug more so than a feature request.

@Elyviere the TrueNAS template is handled by the TrueNAS team, I think it will have to be handled from that end

No its not exactly that. I've said that it will probably get better after https://github.com/truenas/apps/issues/893.
But truenas/apps can't change how calculation is done.

Btw I just run this on the immich server container and it looks normal to me

I'm on TrueNAS 25.04 in case that helps, but seeing as you have the latest Immich version it appears you are too.

@vkushwaha17 commented on GitHub (May 28, 2025):

Even i am having the same issue, where Immich shows 256Kib of 2Tib.
I have set the correct perssions as well, but still no luck.

I feel may be it is related to mount path of the containers, i am using a separate pool for the apps and different pool for immich storage.
Any help appreciated !!

@MrBacca commented on GitHub (May 29, 2025):

One workaround, that worked for me (using geesefs to mount S3 buckets as local storage), is to set a quota limit on your account. Eg. instead of unlimited, use 100 TB for example. This way I can now see the used storage out of the limit.

Using du could deteriorate performance pretty quickly for us (who mount different kinds of storage, especially Object stores such as minio or s3), in my case, it could take hours to traverse the whole tree and get the total size.

I haven't checked how the size is being calculated when a limit is set, and I could be mistaken, but I'm assuming that it's calculated from the meta in Immich rather than from storage as I'm pretty sure it would be much slower to do it accurately from storage in my case.

This works to fix the problem

Can sometime explain what is meant here? Are they talking about quota on the zfs dataset used by Immich?
