Tom's Life Bits

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:

vgs

if there is free space, enlarge the volume:

lvresize -L +<space in GB to increase>G /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

There should be a message that the volume is resized. You can look at the volume using

lvs

You should see the new size.

Last step, increase the size of the filesystem:

resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

If everything went as expected, you should see the new size in immich.
