Broken Immich install with PGSQL exiting
Hello there,
I've been running into issues with my Immich install running on a Proxmox VM with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in Docker.
It used to work as non-root but stopped working, complaining about missing pg_notify folder.
It seems the errors are related to permissions for the postgresql folder (mounted with bind mounts in a folder on another local drive), with missing permissions, even though I switched to running the PG container without UID/GID options to unblock the situation.
At first I was getting error in the docker logs about missing pg_notify folder. So I manually created said folder under the PG folder, set immich to run as root to avoid permission issues, but it's still not starting properly.
In the PG logs, I can now find errors, still related to missing folders. Everytime I create one, there's a new one popping up. Ex : pg_tblspc and pg_replslot then pg_twophase
Could you please help me understand what I'm doing wrong ? I feel like using bind mounts was a mistake and I should have used docker volumes :/
Thanks in advance for your help !
