    Can only speak for my issue, not a symlink:

    /mnt# ls -la
    total 12
    drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Jun  9 09:21 .
    drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Dec 17 11:10 ..
    drwxr-xr-x  1 root root    0 Jun  9 09:22 media
    drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Dec 17 11:31 volumes
    

    Your command doesn't fail, but doesn't give any output either.

    My bad... Can you try like this:

    root@my:/mnt# node -e "console.log(fs.realpathSync('/mnt/folder'))"
    /mnt/folder

      /mnt# node -e "console.log(fs.realpathSync('/mnt/media'))"
      /mnt/media

        @msbt you are trying to add /mnt/media in the Volumes view ? I cannot see why https://git.cloudron.io/platform/box/-/blob/master/src/volumes.js?ref_type=heads#L57 will fail . That's where the error message comes from. If you are ok debugging a bit, just put some console.log in that function and systemctl restart box.

            @msbt can you instead write to me at support@cloudron.io please? Will debug it right away.

              My issue is resolved, adding a --allow-other parameter to the mount solved it, thanks @girish and @joseph

                @msbt I'm sorry but could you do a small writeup of your setup? I'd be interested in using a storage box as storage backend.

                  @andreasdueren the setup in this case is based on rclone, is that what you're looking for? Because the regular storage box setup you probably already know of, since you posted in there as well 😉 https://forum.cloudron.io/post/32783

                    @msbt Yes the regular storage box setup i'm well familiar with. But that won't work with immich. So you installed rclone and connected via the SFTP backend?

                      @andreasdueren yep, I did this to install and configure it:

                      curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
                      rclone config
                      

                      after that, the config will resides in

                      ~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
                      

                      and will look something like this (I enabled encryption too, because why not 😉 :

                      [backup]
                      type = sftp
                      host = u123456-sub1.your-storagebox.de
                      user = u123456-sub1
                      port = 23
                      pass = hashed_pwd
                      md5sum_command = md5 -r
                      sha1sum_command = sha1 -r
                      shell_type = unix
                      idle_timeout = 0
                      
                      [backupcrypt]
                      type = crypt
                      remote = backup:backup
                      

                      mounting:

                      mkdir /mnt/backup
                      chown -R yellowtent:yellowtent /mnt/backup
                      rclone mount backupcrypt: /mnt/backup \
                          --crypt-password "verylonghashedpwd" \
                          --crypt-password2 "evenlongerhashedpwd" \
                          --vfs-cache-mode writes --daemon --transfers 3 --checkers 6 --allow-other
                      

                      The last bit was the important one, without it mounting wasn't possible. You should now be able to mount the rclone thing as a volume. For whatever reason it shows the red dot, I'm guessing that's because of the fs. However, I haven't had an issue with that in months. Currently I'm mounting it manually on every machine reboot, but there are ways to mount it automatically.

                          @andreasdueren you're welcome, I forgot to post the Hetzner docs, they also have a bit of information on that. Speeds are fine, never had any issues with various kinds of media.
