[Rihcus]

The bug

Storage counter in home ui broken.

My host mac has 256gb ssd and 1tb hard drive (usb)

The external 1tb hardrive contains the immich library and is using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system

Admin panal storage count is correct however:

Reproduction steps

1. Set up docker compose on macOS 12.6.2 21G320 x86_64 
2. Plug in an external usb hard drive (make sure its formated in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system).
3. Mount some external libraries to docker-compose.yml
4. Install immich and update the web ui accordingly
5. Run a library scan
6. Check the storage counter in the home ui and compare it to admin panal

This is a docker bug that we can't really do anything about.

[jrasm91]

I'd like to take a look at this one actually.

[Mika571]

Also seeing this on macOS Monterey w/ docker desktop 4.24

I have exactly the same problem. After investigation, some images are missing in the originals "upload/library" folder.

WARNING, Immich may have deleted or not uploaded somes photos correctly. The "upload/thumbs" previews exists and the images are presents in the database. But their originals may be missing. Which explains this delta. Immich front display thumbs images and hide this problem. Try download image to test original is present or check picture path in "upload/library"

The storage "bottom left" indicates the true size of the library from the File system "upload/library". The servers stats indicates the size obtained from the database, so maybe bad

I just installed Immich on MacOS through docker compose. For me it was the same until I set the quotas for the users. I set the quota of 150gb and it shows 308.7mb usage which is exactly the same number as Finder app shows for library folder.

I've experienced exactly this with immich 1.97.0 on both macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 with Docker Desktop 4.26.1, as well as Synology's Container Manager "Docker 20.10.23-1437".

macOS - without quota

1000 GB quota

---

Synology - without quota (this is the only user, so 6.5GB should be the total storage used, which matches what the underlying system reports)

1000 GB quota

I can actually revert back to the incorrect storage size simply by changing my user quota from 1000 back to 0.

[krakowski]

This does also seem to affect Linux. Setting a quota (500 GiB in my case) fixes the calculated size, as mentioned in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/4318#issuecomment-1972017633.

• Immich version: v1.98.2
• Host OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• Host architecture: aarch64
• Kernel version: 5.15
• Deployment: Docker
• Storage: sshfs

[mufeedali]

Seems to affect every case where storage is using sshfs

Still present in v1.100.0

[0x5e]

I guess the total size is from linux machine on macos so it's not true. If we can't get it, it will be better display unknown instead of a wrong size.

[tmryvz]

Any progress on this? On my Docker Desktop for Mac 4.35.1 and immich v1.120.1 its still showing me wrong numbers..

[mmomjian]

@jrasm91 can we close this as an upstream docker bug / deprioritized as a Docker Desktop-only issue?

[pawnjiang]

I've found a way to solve this problem temporarily: configure the Quota Size in the settings of immich, and then the storage space can be displayed normally. Btw, my immich version is 1.230.0 for Casaos.

I'm running Immich v1.136.0 on a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with the following hardware: CPU: 24 cores RAM: 256GB Internal SSD: 2TB External Storage: 4 × 28TB HDDs configured with OpenZFS RAIDZ1, providing a total storage capacity of 83.64TB for UPLOAD_LOCATION=/Volumes/HDD4x28TB_RAIDZ1/immich

Database Location: DB_DATA_LOCATION=./postgres

However, the Immich web UI incorrectly reports the available storage as 181.4 TiB of 464.5 TiB used, which is not accurate given the actual disk setup and capacity.

[albarago]

I too have the same exact problem. MacBook Pro M3 pro with about 20 TB total storage, 12 of which is visible to immich.

I had to set quotas to have it report properly, but, as the admin I would like to easily see how much space is left for the entirety of available storage. This is very very useful.

So big +1 on figuring this out

Here's how it looks for me. How I wish I had that much storage!!

[rizkyarlin]

Same problem on my Mac Mini M1. I use 4TB external HDD as the storage.

I use colima for the docker with start command: colima start --memory 6 --mount "/Volumes/main/:w" --mount "~:w"

Is this any fix to this guys? I’m facing the same issue.
