If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.It looks like your storage device is out of space - this is not an immich issue though
My storage is not out of space though

This issue also happened with Damselfly
it said SQLite has run out of memory/storage
but clearly i have loads
Well however docker is setup for your windows, it clearly does not have loads lol
When installing Docker Desktop does not ask how much storage I want to give it.
Ill try reinstalling docker desktop
see if this fixes things
hope it does
If you're using the default compose, all folders will be in the WSL2 container, which has an inherent limit of, I believe, 32G
