I added an option to include an external storage (smb/cifs) via env vars.
limitations:

only one external storage folder
password must be in env (couldn't think of a way to access docker secrets when creating volumes; would recommend to use git crypt if you have user has env in repository)

Tried to create the upload-folder like this as well, but this didn't work, I think because immich expects it to have already a folder and file structure.

if anyone has ideas on how to improve this before (or after) publishing, I'm glad to discuss :)
