Cannot Start Immich Server (Error 1) TypeORM, Won't Boot At All
Hello, hoping somebody can help as I am running into signifigant issues with running immich. It cannot seem to access the database. I see a link in the error to the documentation where it says this is a known issue and that the database file needs to be run at least once on a lower version before updating https://immich.app/errors/#typeorm-upgrade
It before was "image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:-release}"
I have tried changing it to "image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:- 1.132.0}" as well as "image: ghcr.io/immich-app/immich-server:${IMMICH_VERSION:- 1.136.0}" but it just seems to start as 1.138.1 no matter when I run "docker compose up"
When I go into my docker-compose.yml file and set the version to these lower versions (as it needs to be run at least once between versions 1.132.0 and 1.136.0) it still does not work. Am I setting the specific version right in my docker-compose.yml file? Am I missing somethiing on downgrading?
I am trying to do the downgrade trick because I am getting the "breaking" TypeORM error but am very confused. No matter how I seem to format the version on the docker-compose.yml file it is still giving me the same error and saying in the log (shared in the attachment) that it is "immich_server Initializing Immich v1.138.1" and cant seem to downgrade? Is there additional steps to downgrading I am missing? Is there more to it than stopping all running instances with "docker compose down" and then trying to run it again with the edited docker-compose.yml file or am I not specifying the version number properly? Like why is it still trying to run 1.138.1 after I changed this info in the compose file? I just need to run the lower version once to fix the database so I can upgrade to the latest version again and get past this database issue.
I am so stuck, I have tried following the documentation best I can, any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks! Attached log is from after changing version.

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.immich versions start with v
So if you want to try and pull
v1.132.0 it needs to be in this format
try pulling v1.136.0 for starters 🙂Also, you're only replacing the default. So if
IMMICH_VERSION is set it'll never use those
