What is the Filesystem the DB is located on?
is that a config in .env?
it is btrfs
The filesystem that the postgres data folder is pointed too. Just validating it's not NTFS or something along those lines
then it is btrfs
What are you hosting this on?
This is probably some appsec or similar fedora hardening
Seccomp etc
on a fedora machine
fedora workstation
You can try seccomp: unconfined or similar but this won’t be an immich issue
Either your filesystem or OS / docker
what am i supposed to do?
This is something you need to handle on the fedora side
Fedora is a rather hardened enterprise OS. so if you’re using it, it would be expected you know how to whitelist the appropriate syscslls for docker
I would recommend doing some googling
i'll try then
setenforce to 0 seemed to work
but it may not be the best idea
That’s up to you, I’m sure you can do more fine grained stuff and trial and error with each container
yeah i'll try it later, but at least now immich works
