Error with Immich, Postgress Password

[crusemm]

When setting  up Immich following this guide and this guide. I get an error when I start Immich:

My Immich setup  has this

 

postgres has this:

 

I have verified the passwords are the same. Not sure where the error is.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you run the postgres container before setting the user and password how you wanted them? These are only used on the very first run, changing them later won't do anything.

Yes, I setup redis and postgres prior to. I have removed all three, set them up in redis->postgres->immich order and still have the issue. I can try again though.

[Kilrah]

Removing the container doesn't change anything, it's the appdata folder for it you need to remove. Stop container, delete this container's appdata folder, start it again - then you should have what you set in the template.

[crusemm]

Kilrah, just so I understand, your saying stop all three containers, remove them, delete their appdata files, then reload all three and start over again? or I only need to do that for the Immich docker?

[Kilrah]

If you have problems logging into the database, only for the database container.

[crusemm]

using Krusader, cannot delete the postgres appdata folder

[Kilrah]

Did you stop that container? Also Dynamix File Manager plugin i.e. file manager built into unraid may be preferable.

Have you lose all the data on the database ?

That's what I am worry now.

 

I updated Immich and it started doing connection problem. But I don't want to lose the data either...
