Immich server not starting up (after upgrade?)

Hi everyone, I am a little new to this so please forgive if this is a simple error. My Immich server is no longer accessible from the browser after updating to 1.135.3. I saw on the website that the update involved a breaking change, so I made the changes to the docker compose file as described, but my server is still not starting up.

I have attached the docker-compose.yml and .env file I am using. I am running the server on Ubuntu 24.04 off the internal HDD of an old laptop. After running:
sudo docker compose down
sudo docker compose pull
sudo docker compose up -d

The containers all start up. After running:
sudo docker logs immich_server

I have the following error:
Initializing Immich v1.135.3
Detected CPU Cores: 8
Starting api worker
Starting microservices worker
[Nest] 7 - 07/13/2025, 6:37:07 PM LOG [Microservices:EventRepository] Initialized websocket server

at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookupall [as oncomplete] (node:dns:120:26)

My understanding is that it can not find the database, but I haven't moved it (?). Does anyone know how I could fix this problem? Thanks!
