Missing Admin page
I seem to be missing the administrator panel in immich but I can see the storage and server stats (located at the bottom left via web). Any thoughts? Config is v1.41.1

Are you logged in with an admin account?
Very certain I am.
Would be another useful feature request too while were talking it out. Under the username we should have an Admin/superuser/user title.
What's the output of http://server/api/user/me?
Hmm. Says false to isAdmin
{"id":"65b17c0d-6e83-4388-b048-c279eede769b","email":"[email protected]","firstName":"Matthew","lastName":"Wolf","createdAt":"2022-11-19T00:42:13.692Z","profileImagePath":"","shouldChangePassword":false,"isAdmin":false,"deletedAt":null,"oauthId":""}
Weird because that's the only account I would have used.
You can get a list of all the user emails on the instance with this command
docker compose exec -it database psql -U postgres -d immich -c 'select email from users;'
If you changed DB_USERNAME or DB_DATABASE_NAME then replace the postgres and immich values in that respectivelyunknown shorthand flag: 'i' in -it
Should be OK to remove the -it flag. And maybe you need to add a dash to docker-compose
docker-compose exec database immich -U postgres -d immich -c 'select email from users;'
ERROR: Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?
The error I get attempting to run
Do normal docker commands work? Maybe try with sudo?
Okay, went sudo (duh on me) and re-ran the command
docker-compose exec database psql -U postgres -d immich -c 'select email from users;'

How do you normally manage your docker stuff? Cause this looks pretty broken lol
I mean its been working for a while and I can access all my media/immich interface
Just follow the update guide and that's all I do.
So you run the pull command and that works?

According to https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/7180 that error can be caused by incorrect entries in your .env file
Can you give that a check?
I can
I set the server url at the bottom in the env file but when doing so the server crashed. Commented the line out and the server works again

Can you redact sensitive values like the jwt secret and then paste the full env file here?
Another option would be change the tag for the server image from
release to 1335 and then try running the reset admin password command, which should print out the email for the admin user.The PUBLIC_LOGIN_PAGE_MESSAGE is empty, can you comment that out and then try the docker-compose exec again?
still the same errors as before
The issue is your account is not an admin, right? So either your installation doesn't have an admin, or you're logged in with a different account that isn't the admin.
It seems like the easiest way to troubleshoot this is to view the database, but the "normal" docker commands to do that aren't working. So you can keep trying to figure out how to connect to the database and run the command or you could install a postgres UI to connect to it via the database port.
Out of curiosity, where/how did you deploy immich?
Docker Compose [Recommended] | Immich
Docker Compose is the recommended method to run Immich in production. Below are the steps to deploy Immich with Docker Compose.
Those are the exact instructions I followed a handful of months ago
And you aren't by chance using OAuth are you?
No I'm not using Oauth
Pretty much a plain jane install
Have you created multiple users on the instance, or just the one?
It should be just the one but I may have created an [email protected] account to use as a service account.
I've tried all the passwords I would have used for that account but none have worked.
If you look in the upload_location folder do you only see one uuid folder?
Yes, only one UID folder exists
Although I suppose you could have created an admin account and never uploaded any pictures to it.
That would be true
I'd probably try to spin up a postgres GUI to look in the database users table.
Guess i'll have to when I get some time.
Or, like I said, you try running the container from this PR (https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/1335), which changes the reset-admin-password command to print the admin email address.
I'm headed out here so.. I'll see what I can dig up and post here
Well whatever we were doing borked my install until the latest docker container came out. Whatver happened I kept getting login errors.
You upgraded to the release that came out today?
Yes, I did
Now I can get past the login screen
Were you having issues with the login screen?
Not until we started to mess with the env and docker file
commenting out the public message stopped immich from working. very odd behavior. Almost feel like its better to just burn the system and start from scratch
I'm not really missing out on anything I would just have to build another Azure VM and upload all my photos on a 10 mbps pipe
That's certainly an option. There's a new command now to list the users from the database.
https://immich.app/docs/features/server-commands
Server Commands | Immich
The immich-server docker image comes preinstalled with an administrative CLI (immich) that supports the following commands:
If everything is running the latest release tag, you should be able to use the command to find the admin account and reset the password if necessary
that worked.
Although I had to change my docker image due to it creating.. only thing that didn't match the docks
guess I did have a second account that was admin that I forgot to add to my password manager
Which one and what did you change it to?
Sweet, that's good news.

That's a print out
Oh yes
The "immich_server" in the command when you connect to the container may be different depending on what your container is actually named.
We've changed the docker compose file to give them all standard names now so in the future the command will more likely "just work", but your container name was obviously different.
So you have your admin account again, the list users can worked, and you can see the administration page and settings now?
Yep all is working now in that aspect. Saved the new creds now
thanks
