Everything was good, great in fact. Everything was working, but my OCD weren't okay with how a few services were set-up, so I cleaned up my yaml, commented my docker compose and felt cushty⦠right up until it was time to fix Immich.
I have minor beef with Immich and basically any larger project and the way they go about their Docker Compose. Basically I feel they make the assumption that they're the only thing running.
^Disclaimer: I fully accept this is all just me being too stupid and not the Immich development team.
So first things first, let's rename database to immich-database, redis to immich-redis and most importantly, let's give it a port that's not the default postgres port that everyone wants to use. Easy right? Nope.
First Immich said it couldn't find the database, so I went in and added the IP as the DB_URL to the .env. But that didn't really help, so I went back to the Docker Compose and added the path to the references to the env.
Second issue I stumble upon, is that despite the port being available as DB_PORT Immich decided it was a suggestion and not an instruction. No worries, I edit the database URL to include the port.
Okay, I'm on the home stretch now right. I mean this was working before I decided to mess around with it in the name of scalability or whatever I thought was genius at the time⦠except
[Nest] 7 - 04/05/2024, 6:10:23 PM ERROR [ExceptionHandler] no PostgreSQL user name specified in startup packet
What does that even mean? Why won't you work? So I do a web search and everything is saying that docker probably isn't reading the username from the env file or the Docker Compose. I try adding single quotes and no joy, double quotes, no joy. I have no idea where I've gone wrong. I feel like my beautiful simple Docker Compose now looks like Frankenstein's Monster. Help π
