Error when adding docker compose user
The docs say I can use a non-root user https://immich.app/docs/FAQ/#how-can-i-run-immich-as-a-non-root-user
But when I add
user: to docker-compose.yml I get the following error:
Error response from daemon: unable to find user immich: no matching entries in passwd fileThe container boots up fine if I remove the
user attribute. The user exists on the host.
What am I missing?6 Replies

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.I'm using the current .env and docker-compose.yml with only the user attribute added and removed for testing.
the user entry should be in the form
user: '####:####' example user: '1450:1450'Thanks, trying that now!
You're a life saver. Thanks. I tired that first without making it a string and it said I needed a string. So I brainfarted and though it meant the username only. Thank you!
