immich docker service not accessible by other devices on LAN.
Hi,
I have a docker desktop v4.36.0 (175267) running on windows 11. The docker compose file has configuration for exposing port 2283.
The network is default while building the docker container i.e., "immich_default" bridge driver. I am able to connect and access the web page of immich from mu machine by navigating to localhost:2283 or 192.168.0.100:2283 even before explicitly allowing windows firewall rule.
I have setup a windows firewall rule to allow all tcp traffic to 2283 on my host machine (inbound).
However, im unable to connect to http://192.168.0.100:2283/api from my phone which is connected to the same network
Static IP is assigned to my host machine on my router.
immich server: 192.168.0.100 on 2283
adjacent mobile device: 192.168.0.116
this has been bugging me and its not the router as i have tested with a simple http server [python -m http.server 8000] on my host machine and im able to navigate to 192.168.0.100:8000 and see the directory listing. please help. thanks.

It's windows being a pain in the butt and noone has a concrete guide on how to fix this here. If you figure it out let us know
damn
its a known issue and many people face it?
i actually faced same issue for my navidrome container. I didn't give it much of a thought and have been using a vpn for that
We discourage windows for a number of reasons and this is one of them yes
Hmm one way i can possibly think to solve this with is possibly using host or macvlan driver? Would that solve it?
Maybe but we don’t really have a solution like we said
I will try and update here. Hoping for the best
I tried ipvlan l2 and l3 and macvlan and also host. All of them fail. I guess windows is just the base of this problem.
I have joined the party. Just exactly same problem. I can access Immich through Brave on my phone but when I provide same address to Immich app - cant connect. First thought its because of Huawei (no google) phone but as I see it here, it makes me sad panda
@CausticFartz did you try to access your server through browser or just application on your phone?
If it works on your phone browser this is different.Please make a new ticket and include screenshots with the full url of both app and browser on same device.
Alright thanks a lot for your reply. Will do it tomorrow as it's a bit late here 🙂
I can tell you it’s either you’re not using the same URL (care for http vs https and the port) or you’re not connecting direct to immich, but to some web UI in front of it (commonly seen on NAS)
Woah you are a genius
Thanks a ton
I blame long night... 🙂
@Stevan were you able to connect from phone on LAN and the immich server is on docker desktop windows host?
if so, what is the docker network model that is present? you can share the
docker network inspect immich_server or docker network inspect nameofyourcontainer
@Zeus @Mraedis - i migrated the entire infra to a linux env and its working like a charm now.
