A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Share the volumes section of your docker compose file
Also, just in case, for pre-existing image collections (rather than one you will manually upload to immich) you need to use the "external libraries" feature in the admin settings. You should be pointing that feature at the docker mount point you have listed in your compose file
Would a samba share work for you? For instance, I have Navidrome setup as a docker container, but the audio is on a NAS drive. So I set the samba share parameters in my Navidrome docker compose, gave permissions, Bob's your uncle, Jack's a doughnut. Works great for my purposes.
im not sure, but maybe when you specify path, docker thinks theres two paths separated by :, also in linux to specify path you use forward slash /, so maybe puting in quote maarks would work, e.g. "D:\Pictures":/pictures/ and then looking for /pictures/ inside the container
You shohld also try checking logs when adding external library on immich with docker logs --follow immich_server
