I joined StorJ, a distributed cloud storage platform, to back up approximately 1 TB of data. StorJ uses strong encryption and distributes file partitions across multiple nodes worldwide.
The first step is to set up an iX-StorJ account and create a bucket. The Starter Pack plan costs $150 per year and includes up to 5 TB of storage.
To back up your data to the bucket, you need to create an access key and then import it as a Cloud Credential.

I have a large collection of photos and videos approximately 255.000.
I set the following datasets for immich configuration and then installed the app. external-library is the mountpoint of a folder of my pool that contains many nested folders with photos. I use TrueNAS 25.10 RC1 and immich v2.0.1 stable.
Thumbnail generation is never complete and crashes the app leading to a loop of continuous restarts. Then immich becomes not accessible from the browser.
I then tried to use docker compose to set an immich container that would be presumably more stable. Unfortunately I have the same issue…
