Setting up immich within UGOS through Docker

I am very new with Docker and UGOS and really anything relating to running apps off my NAS. I'm trying to follow the directions for installing Immich using Docker compose and am running into some issues.
What I've done so far:

I've downloaded the yml and env files from the website.
I changed the timezone and added a password onto the example.env file and renamed it.
I then put both files in the folder location in my NAS.
Through the docker app in UGOS, I created a new project called immich-app
in the compose configuration, I imported the yml file in the folder and added the new env file name under env_file: on lines 23 and 44 to the name of my env file.
I hit deploy and I get the attached errors.

Help?

details of step 4 and 5 would be beneficial. Screenshots would work as well.

Please provide a copy of your docker config file and your env file

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:01 AM

galindoimmich.env930B

docker-compose.yml3.2KB

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:02 AM

OK. here are my files. i changed the password on the env file just now

Tempest•1/18/25, 5:03 AM

because you named the env file something other than

.env

.env

you need to specify it in all related containers I believe

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:03 AM

so i should just delete the name? if i just leave those lines as .env as opposed to galindoimmich.env then it should be fine?

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:04 AM

or should i rename then env back to what it was as example.env?

Tempest•1/18/25, 5:04 AM

rename the env file to

.env

.env

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:12 AM

hm. just tried that. wasn't sure you were able to do just name it nothing

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:12 AM

ok. so when i did that, i reuploaded it to the folder location

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:13 AM

but although the message said it updloaded fine, it's not in the actual folder. just tried to do it multiple times and it says it uploads fine, but then doesn't show it

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:13 AM

so then i just re-deployed anyway and i get the same errors as my original pic

Tempest•1/18/25, 5:14 AM

alternatively try specifiying the explicit file in each container

    env_file:
      - galindoimmich.env

    env_file:
      - galindoimmich.env

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:19 AM

ok here we go

Ppibe hm. just tried that. wasn't sure you were able to do just name it nothing

icedragon2002002•1/18/25, 5:19 AM

The . At the beginning tends to hide it. Do

ls -la

ls -la

on the directory and it should show

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:19 AM

it did it i think. it's doing a deployment log

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:19 AM

and pulling immich server

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:20 AM

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:20 AM

this mean it worked?

icedragon2002002•1/18/25, 5:20 AM

Looks like it bud

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:21 AM

ok. i guess it's running now. alright. 1st step done. oh dang. i forgot to change the pw. can i do change it later?

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:21 AM

was gonna go onto the next steps from the website lol

icedragon2002002•1/18/25, 5:22 AM

You are so early in the process. You can start over but be sure to delete the database before you deploy again

icedragon2002002•1/18/25, 5:23 AM

Since this is your first run I wouldnt commit yourself to immich just yet btw

icedragon2002002•1/18/25, 5:23 AM

Deploy and play with it. Hell try everything you can think of to break immich

icedragon2002002•1/18/25, 5:23 AM

Learn from your mistakes and re deploy again

icedragon2002002•1/18/25, 5:26 AM

Once you can deploy immich by memory the next thing is learning how to properly do backups and restoring from backups

icedragon2002002•1/18/25, 5:27 AM

Once you can do both those things from memory then I would run immich as your primary photo management

pibeOP•1/18/25, 5:40 AM

OK thank you!
