i have a windows 10 pc with 4gb ram, intel celeron N2830 i think, i have tried reeboting several times, i have around 150GB of free ssd space
Did you read the special note for windows users: https://immich.app/docs/install/requirements/#special-requirements-for-windows-users
no i didnt, so i just make those 2 changes in the files and retry to start the server?
have you read it now? 😄
there are some limitations, especially for the database
also, running windows 10 on 4GB of Ram and on top of that running docker in WSL(I hope you dont use docker desktop on windows) and then immich, might be a bit difficult with the ram
if thats all you use that device for, consider using a headless linux server to save on resources
make sure to also read the special requirements for windows users at the bottom!
yeah i read it now and yes i am running docker desktop on windows i think, i had to install wsl tho to make it run,is it a bad thing? i cant put linux there because i use it also for other stuff, i tried to run it again but i still think the main error is "UTC [356] FATAL: database "immich" does not exist"
did you start from scratch with the db container?
docker desktop on windows is just a head scratcher, it causes so many issues
