Constant restarting 1.137.0

I use docker compose on ubuntu. Had updated from an older version to 1.137.0 when it was new and left it assuming all was fine. It wasn't. Server is constantly restarting and I would appreciate some help with this as I don't want to blindly update to latest in case it causes further issues. What is the issue/solution for this issue, can I resume upgrading towards 2.2? Side questions, asside from upgrading immich, when should redis/postgres be upgraded with newer images? docker logs immich_server returns the following, many (many) times
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND redis
at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (node:dns:111:26) {
errno: -3008,
code: 'ENOTFOUND',
syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
hostname: 'redis'
}

hostname: 'redis'
}
immich_redis shows up and healthy in docker ps so not sure what is wrong here. docker logs immich_redis returns the followng, if it matters:

Your server container doesn't share a network with the rest
Malakan
MalakanOP2w ago
Looking at the example in the documents there are no networks in the yml. Is this issue occurring because I put a network on immich_server and not the others? Do I have to state a network on each or could I remove this one network?

"is this occuring because I put a network on immich_server" yes, it is it's really up to you to deploy the docker how you like - our default will just work, but it seems you have some other requirements you need to adapt to

Removed this and the server starts. Thank you!

If you want to add them to the caddy network you will need to also add an internal network to all the containers @Malakan

MalakanOP2w ago
Thank you, going to get everything updated and working first before re adding the networks

Here's how it works so you can adjust accordingly https://docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/networks/#the-default-network If you add immich_server to a different network without specifying the default also, it will simply remove it from default
