+2. Edit `.env`:
+ - Set `DB_PASSWORD` to a secure random string.
+ - Set `UPLOAD_LOCATION` to where you want photos stored.
+ - Set `DB_DATA_LOCATION` to where you want the database stored (avoid network shares).

+ ```
+
+## Access

+## What to Configure
+
+- **`.env`** — All primary configuration lives here. See the [Immich docs](https://docs.immich.app/install/environment-variables) for all options.
