Failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: manifest unknown
Hi everyone. Second time writing here again after a "failed" update from Server Version: v1.139.4
Latest Version: v1.142.0
I followed the exact same procedure as always: updating db when needed and checking everything was as expected in the new docker compose file and got this long error: "Failed to deploy a stack: compose up operation failed: Error response from daemon: manifest unknown" Server is down and I'm a little bit worried. If someone can drop a line or two about what to do it would be very much appreciated. I'm deploying via Portainer if that can help. Any other information besides the docker compose file I'm using and the .env that I can provide, would be provided if you can help me. Thanks everyone in advance.

So seems quite clear the problem comes from the immich_server trying to reach the redis service here "2025-09-13T14:57:01.030252034Z Initializing Immich v1.142.0

I tried also immich_redis to name it after the container name...and that didn't fixed the issue either. 😫 I'll wait for some feedback and I'll update the post if I have some news. Thanks again.
OK! redis service wasn't included in the same network as immich so it was impossible to reach one another......damn it. My fault. And that brought me to my next issue. I'm having this one now:

I know is a well documented issue and I have read why could happen. But the .immich files exist in the folder. A no permissions have changed
UPLOAD_LOCATION -> /share/media/assets/photos
Most of the time is ALWAYS about human errors. Thanks guys for building a tool that is SO reliable.
