Your .env content

UPLOAD_LOCATION=/home/ImmichPhotos
IMMICH_VERSION=release
DB_PASSWORD=postgres
DB_HOSTNAME=immich_postgres
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_DATABASE_NAME=immich
DB_DATA_LOCATION=./postgres
REDIS_HOSTNAME=immich_redis
EXTERNAL_PATH=/home/myname/MyPhoto

Reproduction steps

1. I'm running this in Flashstor NAS device and using Portainer CE to deploy. Currently I'm using only with "External libraries".
Everything synchronises and I see all the photos loaded from External Library and everything seems as expected. 
2. I shut down the NAS device.
3. When I turn it ON again, everything is gone and it takes me from "Get Started" button where I've to create again the user and setup everything from scratch and run the jobs.


PS: I set upload location outside the container to utilize the full NAS space and to not be depended on container. My doubts are on db location maybe shall be set the same as upload location.

Relevant log output

Seems the problem is as I anticipated. The database location should be in the same level with upload location.
Changing .env as below solved the issue:

UPLOAD_LOCATION=/home/ImmichPhotos
IMMICH_VERSION=release
DB_PASSWORD=postgres
DB_HOSTNAME=immich_postgres
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_DATABASE_NAME=immich
DB_DATA_LOCATION=/home/ImmichPhotos/postgres
REDIS_HOSTNAME=immich_redis
EXTERNAL_PATH=/home/myname/MyPhoto
