Immich-Server Incorrect Password
I recently installed immich on docker desktop. I was notified that there was an update to 2.3.1 ( I was running 2.2). Within the docker-desktop/home folder, I noticed my installation files disappeared. I attemtped to do a fresh re-installation of the service so that I could update to 2.3.1, however I forgot that I had set a password on the .env file initially. I also do not recall the password. Now, having reinstalled the immich containers, "immich_server" shows this : "PostgresError: password authentication failed for user "postgres""
I am new to this, and tried following the steps to reset the password but I have been unsuccessful. Additionally, the "immich_server" container keeps restarting and I think that is causing me some problems to actually reset the password.
The log for this is as follows:
