Originally created by @D35P4C1T0 on GitHub (Sep 20, 2022).

Describe the bug
While using the standard docker compose yml file to run immich as a stack on OMV (openmediavault) a strange behaviour occurs.
I'm also adding logs from the postgres container. The .env file is pretty much the default one, I only changed the JWT string and backup absolute path, the postgres stuff is untouched (so postgres both as username and password for the db).

Task List

Please complete the task list below. We need this information to help us reproduce the bug or point out problems in your setup. You are not providing enough info may delay our effort to help you.

  • I have read thoroughly the README setup and installation instructions.
  • I have included my docker-compose file.
  • I have included my redacted .env file.
  • I have included information on my machine, and environment.

Expected behavior
Postgres container working accordingly.

Can you remove the pgdata volume and try again?

I have the same issue except the stack has been working for over 2 months. Suddenly I have access denied like that.

I don't want to have to delete the pgdata and reupload everything again. What can I do?

I can post a new issue for it if need be.

@amnesiacsardine There was some small change in the Dockerfile that might be the cause. I reverted the change. Can you try upgrading to the latest version, which is 1.33.1 and see if it still causes the issue?

Yes the issue is still there even after the update.

Since the previous update, I get those warnings every time I run any docker compose commands on my immich stack.

WARN[0000] The "A" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
WARN[0000] The "N5uJ" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank
string.

It refers to my postgres password and JWT secret inside my env file. They both have a $ sign in the middle of them.

I put them between single quotes and the warning disappears but I'm afraid immich or docker includes the quotes in what it thinks the value is. Maybe?

Can you share your setup and your .env please?

The only thing different in my docker-compose.yml compared to the guidelines is that I mapped the pgdata volume instead of using a docker volume.

@alextran1502 You can forget this issue. I just logged in the postgres db and changed the password then replacing it accordingly in the .env and everything is fine again. Thanks for you hard work on this awesome project.
