Starting afresh with portainer deployment
Hi, following some issues, I've decided to start again and deploy immich with portainer this time...
Reading the official doc... simple I thought...
https://immich.app/docs/install/portainer
Following these instructions I've copied and pasted the docker compose file, changed the .env to stack.env, changed the password value for the DB_Password, and then hit deploy stack.
I repeatedly get error messages along the lines of
"Failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: Bind mount failed '/data/compose/7/postgres' does not exist"
I can't find anything in the immich docs that references these.
Any help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.share your env and compose file
If you're using Portainer, you'll need to set UPLOAD_LOCATION and DB_DATA_LOCATION to absolute paths
Ok, I have created /Data/immich/uploads and /Data/immich/db, and written those in the env file, however it's now erroring telling me /Data/immich/db doesn't exist
Does that folder actually exist? What are permissions like on it?
Did you put Data or data, capitals matter on Linux
yes they both exist, but they needed the 'volume1' adding: volume1/Data/immich
ah, this is on synology
which unit do you have?
DS918+
in theory, as long as you have about 8-12gb of ram free, you can run it with HWA, if that's something that would matter to you
HWA? Is that the hardware assist?
What benefits does that offer?
facial recognition and smart search are about 8x faster
oooh, interesting, I think the facial recognition was excellent, before something went wrong with my previous install and it stopped doing it all together
once it's back up and running with the imports I may look into this
thanks 🙂
So whilst the install of immich is now in portainer, the original issue is still present. I was hoping that starting from fresh would mean all the photos were uploaded correctly, but I still have photos that are between 1 and 5 years old uploaded in the incorrect timeline, looking at the metadata, it shows incorrect data, but I've no idea where it got these from an example of this is photos taken at Christmas 2023 in March 2024 and April 2024, along with photos from before Covid lockdown in the UK, also in April 2024. I know I shouldn't rely on immich as my only backup, but it was my step away from google photos, it also used to work flawlessly. I'm not sure where to start.
try #immich-power-tools if you want to fix dates in bulk
I’ve tried for the best part of a day to get power tools to work, but to no avail. It’s in the same stack as Immich server etc. as a side not I also have a magic mirror dashboard and use Immich as the background, but since replying Immich it no longer displays any images 😫😫😫
Just for interest, and to vent my frustrations this is just one of the images showing incorrectly in Immich. Left hand photo shows the metadata through metadata view, an app for iOS and right hand side shows the metadata for the same photo in Immich
