Hello everyone, I've had immich running stable on the 134 release for quite some time, since it was released. This morning I uploaded images and videos to immich from my tablet. Quite a lot of files, but immich managed. All of the sudden the upload stopped, I looked at the logs of the immich postgres container to find the following. I am unable to find out what has happened, what can I do to remedy this? The database container is now in a continues loop.

Bullet 3: I have not messed with the database as I am not familiar enough and I am afraid to break it.
bullet 4: only uploaded about 100GB from my tablet to the server, and moved the postgres database from my cache to my app_data drive
Bullet 5: Unraid 7.1.3 using docker compose.

Q

QuafleyOP•6/18/25, 11:35 AM

I am currently trying to restore the database, and I am having a very hard time. Perhaps one of you can help me out.
I make my database backups by just pg_dumping the database, resulting in a .sql file.
I then do:

sed -i '/DROP DATABASE/d;/CREATE DATABASE/d;/DROP ROLE/d;/CREATE ROLE/d' immich-database_mess.sql

sed -i '/DROP DATABASE/d;/CREATE DATABASE/d;/DROP ROLE/d;/CREATE ROLE/d' immich-database_mess.sql

After which

sed -i '/\\connect/d' ./immich-database_mess.sql

sed -i '/\\connect/d' ./immich-database_mess.sql

I then copy the database into the immich postgres container:

docker cp /mnt/user/appdata/immich_backups/immich-database_mess.sql immich_postgres:/immich-database_mess.sql

docker cp /mnt/user/appdata/immich_backups/immich-database_mess.sql immich_postgres:/immich-database_mess.sql

I then try to build it up again doing:

docker exec -u postgres -it immich_postgres psql -U root -d immich -f /immich-database_mess.sql

docker exec -u postgres -it immich_postgres psql -U root -d immich -f /immich-database_mess.sql

However, it does everything well, but at the end it says this:

QQuafley This is probably it spotting my uploads are already on the server right?

Correct

Okay it's gone now. Apparently (because I so happen to have issues with 2 databases today) if you have a healthcheck setup like this:

test: ['CMD', 'pg_isready', '-U', 'root']

test: ['CMD', 'pg_isready', '-U', 'root']

<< the way I named my default user. it will automatically search for the root database.

test: ['CMD', 'pg_isready', '-U', 'postgres', '-d', 'immich']

test: ['CMD', 'pg_isready', '-U', 'postgres', '-d', 'immich']

setting it like this would fix the issue.

Bit of an oddity really, do you recommend (whilst I'm at it now) to revert my database user back to default?

Alex Tran•6/18/25, 3:08 PM

up to you, if it works then maybe just leave it

Q

QuafleyOP•6/18/25, 3:10 PM

yeah, it works now so I'm happy. Thanks!
