Originally created by @Gur15 on GitHub (Jan 7, 2023).

I am using Windows 10 machine with docker installed on it.

I have noticed that when I run docker compose up -d, it wont read .env file.
Both compose file and env are in same folder.
Upload location is also set correctly in env file, for the test sake i tried using backslash and forward slash in upload location but it still wont read it and gives the error that Empty Section Between Colons ( screenshot below ). also its setting up variables to blank string.

Error

In docker compose when i removed $ sign in front of upload location then it seems to go past that error but then it gives different error.
Error 2

Let me know if am doing something wrong or if this is an issue.
if you need more information please let me know.

thank for your help again.

  1. Can you post your .env and docker-compose.yml file?
  2. From the immich directory can you run ls and take the screenshot of the output?

as soon i ran the ls command, i see that .env file was saved as .env.txt, so i installed notepad++ and it saved the .env file and now docker compose is running. I was able to set it up on windows machine. thank you so much for help. you can close the case
