Variables not found in the .env
Hello,
I'm diving into Immich setup and for the most part have found it pretty simple. I'm using docker compose and have the info in immich.yml file. When I try to run docker compse I get the following response:
My immich.yml file:
see attached file
My .env file:
I've validated the file path is correct, and scrutinized for silly typos. Any help would be welcomed.8 Replies

Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:What's the output of
ls -la in that folder?in the docker compose folder or the .env folder?
.env folder?
.env should be a file in the same folder as the compose file
I have them in a different folder. I keep my compose files organized in a different one. and the .env in another.
Compose:
/home/kevarini/docker/belona/compose/
.env: /home/kevarini/docker/
I call that out in my immich.yml compose file to point to the correct spot.Then you'll also need to use
--env-file in the compose commandOK great, so I used
sudo docker compose --env-file /home/kevarini/docker/.env -f immich.yml up -d and it looks like it's starting up. assuming I'm starting from scratch, will that be needed with every start/creation?
Looks like I've got some variables to figure out, and some username/password stuff, but I'm closer how. Thank you much @bo0tzzThis thread has been closed. To re-open, use the button below.
