How to make Cloudron Immich keep its files in mounted block storage?

[LoudLemur]

Some Cloudron applications, e.g. Immich, are likely to store a large quantity of data, for example Immich but also e.g. PeerTube, etc.

How do we inform our Cloudron applications that the block storage is where to look for and store files?

I think you are wanting to use Volumes

Most apps only have one data location setting/data root, so in such cases you have to move the whole app onto another volume https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#data-directory

Yes, I think you are right. I seem to have the block storage going but when I try the commands to create a volume, I receive the following error:

Failed to mount (inactive): Could not determine mount failure reason.

Thank you @jdaviescoates , you magic man! Thank you too, @nebulon for finding the time to look at my post.

As usual, Cloudron already had all the information I needed there.

My difficulty came from reading the output of the blkid command:

blkid

You are returned a UUID result along with a PARTUUID result, and I copy/pasted the wrong one.
