Pure curiosity: docker compose from official documentation file seems to be incomplete?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this, so this is very probably gonna be a useless question/remark
But just to be sure and possibly contribute a little, here I go (bear with me):

Software Setup

Attached you can find my docker-compose file (it's too long to be posted here)

Documentation that I used

And here is the one you're told to download in the documentation
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml

With that command line
wget -O docker-compose.yml https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml


Issue

BUT, if you do download this docker compose file
Something ESSENTIAL will be missing
And weirdly, it's literally ChatGPT who repaired the docker compose file for me, by adding the immich microservice container!
  immich-microservices:
    container_name: immich_microservices
    image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}
    command: "start.sh microservices"
    volumes:
      - ${UPLOAD_LOCATION}:/data
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    env_file:
      - stack.env
    depends_on:
      - redis
      - database
    restart: always
    networks:
      - private_secured_network


Questions/observations

So I don't know what's up
  • Maybe I missed something?
  • Maybe this service is not needed?
  • Maybe something's of with my docker compose file?
However, without this microservice container -> literally NOTHING would have worked.
I mean that, when I was accessing my Immich web server -> The website would work but NO picture/video would load -> no thumbnail and even when clicking on ANY of my pics/vids, nothing would be displayed

Don't hesitate to tell me whether I missed something
I probably skipped something essential 🤷‍♂️
