Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

Immich can use existing libraries, either by importing (copying) existing files, or just by adding an existing folder of files in place.
Importing is another thing. But using an existing folder is exactly what I want. Is this feature new ?
I think it's pretty new, in the last month or so. It's currently something you have to run manually with the CLI to do an import, but they should eventually have it added into the web interface and run automatically.

The important thing is the
--importflag which adds files without copying them.Personally I run the CLI command inside the
immich-servercontainer, here's the full command to make life easier since this took me a bit to figure out, make sure the directory is mounted into both theimmich-serverandimmich-microservicescontainers. You can mount it as:roif you want (I did) to make sure Immich can only read the files and not change them.immich upload --key apikeygoeshere --server http://localhost:3001 --recursive /some/path/to/existing/photos --importAmazing ! Thanks for sharing!
