Maybe it's just me being super confused, but why would you need it to use a public folder? For either Immich or Nextcloud, there are already software designed to (securely) host, provide and share data explicitly (and not share their guts to a public share over the LAN) Wouldn't it be counter-productive to have them use a public share? It makes way more sense for torrent clients, music libraries and the such, than for file hosting software that usually has to enforce user separation and priviledges in a way that the public SMB share won't reflect at all.

I am battling ACL type mismatch issues for the "Applications" system share after the Immich config upgrade changed the postgres data path and I had to manually move data there. Not sure if I caused this situation by moving files or if the "config upgrade" will do that by default, but it's quite probably people going through the same issues and manual solutions as me would end up in the same situation Current status is: No SMB share config change is allowed on the "Applications" system SMB share; no chaning its access permissions nor even disabling the share altogether. Which is problematic as it now stores a database for a privacy-sensitive service, which now landed on a "public-by-default" datastore shared through the LAN. I highly advise people with limited free time during this holiday season to not perform any such new "config upgrade" until either things are sorted our, or you have enough spare time to fix breakages. There is no immediate issue with not doing it now, and no huge immediate benefit either, so just wait it out for now while the adventurous like me try to survive the unforseen consequences 🙂

I have one question specific to Nextcloud. My instance currently uses, as storage, iXvolumes, as per the default during the creation a while back. Given how I had to migrate immich's data manually from a Host Path to another, what might happen with Nextcloud volumes? (I can deal with moving stuff even though it's not ideal, but I want to be sure there won't be bad surprises)

Just got the update and have this feedback on trying it out on immich: Thank god I didn't start with Nextcloud. Is this the expected behavior? Or is something rather pointing to me having done something wrong that ended up in data being left behind? Maybe I didn't read a warning prompt right? I think I'll land on my feet moving things manually for immich, but I have a lot more users on Nextcloud and I'm not sure I feel confident going through this again with Nextcloud... Let me know if another communication channel is more appropriate to discuss this further PS: please don't roll out risky things during holiday seasons. It's not worth it.
