Immich on Truenas (Dragonfish-24.04.2.5) stuck on deploying
I have been an extremely happy user of Immich, but since a few days I am not able to deploy it anymore. Whenever I deploy it, it just gets stuck on deploying. I suspect it might have to do with file permission, but i am not sure.
The log, unless I looked at the wrong one, is below. All the directories are host paths. I would be happy to reinstall everything, as long as the photos (which are uploaded by different users) wont be lost.

Back-off restarting failed container immich in pod immich-postgres-5dd496df96-h5llg_ix-immich(6c3be37f-e925-4811-b0fb-fce54e74452e)
said pod shows this:
did you change the security context?
postgres not being able to access the data dir is definitely a permission issue.
check if everything is correct permission wise on the mounted paths
Thanks for your reply. Where do I find the needed permissions and should that be for the individual folders only or including the whole tree above that?
the folder should be owned by the same user running postgres. where, it depends on your configuration.
usually the postgres container should run as root, since the container itself use a non privileged user
Everything under Immich has the same permissions as seen here.
please share the details the bot asked for
I thought I did. Which point did I miss?
oh you must be using a helm... and on top of TrueNAS.
please check the permissions info in the TrueNAS section https://immich.app/docs/install/truenas
you were right, thank you. I had pgdata's acl configured incorrectly. No that is solved, however it still doesn't deploy. now it is saying:

could this be a firewall issue?
I'm not familiar with TrueNAS, so I can't tell.
are you using the default charts for k8s ? https://immich-app.github.io/immich-charts/
I have not touched that so I suppose I am using the default
@NoMachine if I type
helm repo listit says no repo is configured.
also found this in pod: immich-fc8bfd4bf-4cw7k
after changing gpu allocation settings it now doesnt give this error anymore.
now i am just left with this:
Add eth0 [172.16.0.154/16] from ix-net and still doesn't work. the pod logs don't show anything out of the ordinary.
also I dont know where it gets that ip from. that is not my ip.I can't help with TrueNAS configuration sorry, that's some obscure 💩
