Describe the bug
I have a Raspberry pi 4 and I installed with docker easily the app. The .env file was set up to point to my external USB HDD. I even successfully made a backup of my phone pictures to the specified directory. It passed a few days, but today when I checked the Web admin shows the "silhouette" of the thumbnails, but without the actual picture and they can't be opened too. The Storage space in the left corner shows the space of the SD card and not the space left on the USB drive. I think something gone really wrong. Nothing changed, the drive hasn't moved or anything else.
I tried to update with the "docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d" command, and it run without any error. The problem was still not resolved.

JWT SECRET

This JWT_SECRET is used to sign the authentication keys for user login

Reverse Geocoding

Reverse geocoding is done locally which has a small impact on memory usage

This memory usage can be altered by changing the REVERSE_GEOCODING_PRECISION variable

This ranges from 0-3 with 3 being the most precise

3 - Cities > 500 population: ~200MB RAM

2 - Cities > 1000 population: ~150MB RAM

1 - Cities > 5000 population: ~80MB RAM

0 - Cities > 15000 population: ~40MB RAM

####################################################################################

REVERSE_GEOCODING_PRECISION=3

####################################################################################

WEB - Optional

Custom message on the login page, should be written in HTML form.

For example:

Alternative Service Addresses - Optional

This is an advanced feature for users who may be running their immich services on different hosts.

It will not change which address or port that services bind to within their containers, but it will change where other services look for their peers.

Note: immich-microservices is bound to 3002, but no references are made

Resolved the problem with adding a delay to start the docker container (wait for the HDD to spin up at startup). This link helped: https://www.reddit.com/r/docker/comments/ke3twe/how_to_delay_the_start_of_a_container_at_system/
