Problem to do Restore with Docker
Hello everyone, I'm trying to do a restore but I can't do it on my own. I'm not a Docker expert.
I had some problems with immich_postgres, and I couldn't solve it, I looked for some alternatives, and when I saw on the Immich website talking about Backup. I checked to see if it had a folder with the name backup, yes I do, and with the last backup on February 8th . I have my photos and videos on my HDD and the backup is there as well. But I've tried everything it says on the immich site (Backup and Restore) still the same. i can't do it, give me error or the server immich_postgres can't start.
Can anyone help me do a proper restore?

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.I have this problem also :
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
Like the bot requested, you'll need to post more detail for us to be able to help you
I'm doing this
You have to fill in your db username etc
It’s not just copy paste
I think on windows, depending on which terminal you use, the \ multiline doesn't actually work and you'll need to put it all on one line
Still the same. i appreciate your help. But i tried what you told me. different ways. Same error. I'm missing some step. I'm doing some detail wrong. Probably i will start from zero and upload the photos again. Thanks
Feel free to screenshot the command and I could point you to the error
after that, i can go forward to next step (docker compose pull) or i need to change something before do this step
That is the first step in restore so I don't really understand the question
I already made the backup. But the immich_server doesn't start.
Can anyone help me ?
Someone can help please?
Seems like the database credentials in your .env aren't right
You have to add the container for your database and restore the database as described there: https://immich.app/docs/administration/backup-and-restore/
Also, you need to fill in your db name and password in your .env file as described here: https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose
The log shows that immich can't connect to your database. Also note that you will need to restore your backup in your database container before spinning up the other containers. Otherwise Immich is missing all the database content
it's work. Many thanks 🙂
