have tried changing the directory formatting in a bunch of different ways. This used to work but since deleting and starting again it does not work

OOFOP•2/7/25, 12:04 AM

it works when i allow the default paths. i think it might be an issue of the container accessing the host system but this has worked before

OOFOP•2/7/25, 12:11 AM

ok it has now just started working for some reason

OOFOP•2/7/25, 12:11 AM

i have not changed a thing

OOFOP•2/7/25, 12:11 AM

and the terminal error has gone

OOFOP•2/7/25, 12:11 AM

the wsl error in docker is still there though

OOFOP•2/7/25, 12:13 AM

I get the

Error response from daemon: invalid volume specification: 'D:\New-Immich-Files\library:/usr/src/app/upload:rw'

Error response from daemon: invalid volume specification: 'D:\New-Immich-Files\library:/usr/src/app/upload:rw'

error when i do

docker compose up -d

docker compose up -d

but not when i start it throught the docker desktop gui

OOFOP•2/7/25, 12:14 AM

I'm not experienced with windows, but shouldn't you use / to separate paths? even on Windows?
Also you didn't define a valid path for DB_DATA_LOCATION, unless you are already using a previously created volume

OOFOP•2/8/25, 7:55 PM

doesn't work with / or \ sadly

OOFOP•2/8/25, 7:55 PM

even with a proper postgres path it doesn't work

Mraedis•2/8/25, 8:30 PM

Ah here we are

OOFOP•2/8/25, 8:30 PM

lol

Mraedis•2/8/25, 8:32 PM

Are you doing docker bla bla in the windows terminal

OOFOP•2/8/25, 8:33 PM

in my terminal with ubuntu

OOFOP•2/8/25, 8:33 PM

as in docker compose up -d you mean?

Mraedis•2/8/25, 8:33 PM

yeah exactly

Mraedis•2/8/25, 8:34 PM

- D:\New-Immich-Files\library:/usr/src/app/upload:rw- D:\New-Immich-Files\library:/usr/src/app/upload:rw seems to be the right specification

Mraedis•2/8/25, 8:34 PM

not 100% sure there

OOFOP•2/8/25, 8:35 PM

for some reason it works fine when i run it through the docker desktop ui. I'm thinking maybe i need to give access or a permission that i have missed but i honestly dk

Mraedis•2/8/25, 8:36 PM

You could set it all up through WSL
