here is the relevant portions of the compose file:

  immich-server:
    container_name: immich_server
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    command: [ "start.sh", "immich" ]
    environment:
      - DB_HOSTNAME: postgresql-immich
      - DB_USERNAME: pguser-immich
      - DB_PASSWORD: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      - DB_DATABASE_NAME: pgdb-immich
      - DB_PORT: 5433

      - TYPESENSE_HOST: typesense
    volumes:

      - ${DOCKERSTORAGEDIR}:/storage
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - postgresql-immich
      - typesense
    restart: always

  immich-server:
    container_name: immich_server
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    command: [ "start.sh", "immich" ]
    environment:

      - DB_USERNAME: pguser-immich
      - DB_PASSWORD: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

    depends_on:
      - redis

Any idea what I might be missing

can you use the original docker-compose file to run?

The dashes in the environment section shouldn't be there

environment:
 DB_HOSTNAME: postgresql-immich

environment:
 DB_HOSTNAME: postgresql-immich

like that

DOH!!!! I knew it was something stupid. I was looking at my other compose files and was not seeing that small thing One last question. Where do I set the port it uses? looking at the post-isntall instructions it says to go to http://<machine-ip-address>:2283, but that port is not exposed anywhere. Did I miss something in the env or the compose? nevermind. I forgot to add the proxy. now it looks like it is working
