===== Resize the LVM for immich =====

When immich is first setup on portainer, the amount of memory it uses is very low. My imageDb folder needs almost 1 Gb to accomodate the pictures.\\

The following procedure worked well for me (Tom G):\\

All data is on / which is an LVM in the Volume group (VG) ubuntu and the logical volume (LV) ubuntu.\\

Find out if there is enough space in the LVM/VG:\\
<code>
vgs
</code>
if there is free space, enlarge the volume:\\

<code>
lvresize -L +<space in GB to increase>G /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
</code>
There should be a message that the volume is resized. You can look at the volume using\\
<code>
lvs
</code>
You should see the new size.\\

Last step, increase the size of the filesystem:\\
<code>
resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv
</code>
If everything went as expected, you should see the new size in immich. \\
