First of all, thanks Start9-Team for this update! I really like it so far, apart from having less flexibility and frequent crashes, but I guess it’s still early. I really appreciate how seamless upgrading was. But an announcement some time back said, that we are potentially able to attach an external drive for cloud storage like Nextcloud and Immich. I don’t see any config option for Immich, but is that possible in general, or would that require some other system? Greetings tennis ---

That feature is planned for a future version of StartOS. Thank you! I’m very pleased to hear the upgrade process went smoothly for you. ---
