The installation appears to get stuck at the stage of creating a server and microservice container.
On further assessing Dockers the following is seen
Appreciate if anyone can recommend how to resolve the issue

I don’t see immich_proxy in your stack
I believe it is the dependency of server and microservices
Can you post your docker-compose file?
do you mean docker-compose.yml ?
yes
is this the docker-compose file that you used or you have modified it?
this is the one I have downloaded from github and placed it in a folder along with .env file. No I haven't modified anything.
can you cancel
ctrl + c
and run docker compose up
again?ok, same issue

pretty strange, must be docker weird behavior on Windows
Do you have a linux server that you can use by chance, it would by pass these hassle
no, i dont have a linux server but I have another system with fedora. Maybe I should try on that.
yes that should help greatly
ok, will try that and update you in a while
Idk why but a lot of windows users have had issues with the process getting stuck indefinitely while creating the containers.
Im (was) in the same boat with Win 10 and docker failures. I d k the root cause, but as soon as i installed ubuntu using wsl and enabled docker engine for ubuntu, things worked fine.
Running into issues in setting up immich I cant figure out. Request if anyone can help using remote access
you can post the issue and we can take a look
the issues are as posted above
the issue is probably running Docker on windows
so what are my options ?
try WSL like Strider suggest above or use a Linux machine
Can you see if there are any logs in the Windows Event Viewer? You may have to filter to docker
